Created from Britannica articles using AI. AI can make mistakes, so verify using Britannica articles.

Azerbaijan is located in the Transcaucasia region and shares land borders with five countries:

North: Russia
Northwest: Georgia
West: Armenia
South: Iran
Southwest (via the Naxçıvan exclave): Armenia, Iran, and Turkey1

To the east, the country is bounded by the Caspian Sea. Although it has a coastline, Azerbaijan is considered a landlocked country because the Caspian Sea does not connect to the open ocean.12
