Where the oil flows like water and the carpet shops flow like oil.

Azerbaijan: A land where the words "bazaar" and "bribe" are interchangeable and the phrase "business as usual" means something completely different.

Azerbaijan: A country where the phrase "it's all about the oil" is actually a metaphor for the entire nation's existence, not just its economy.

Azerbaijan is known as the "Land of Fire" because of its natural gas fires that have been burning for centuries.

The capital, Baku, is the lowest-lying capital city in the world, sitting 28 meters below sea level.
