Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan sits at the crossroads of the Caucasus and the Caspian — a country of mud volcanoes, alpine meadows, and a shoreline that smells faintly of crude oil even on calm days. The Silk Road ran through here, and the layering of Persian, Soviet, and Turkic influences still shapes how cities look and how people eat.
