The Republic of Azerbaijan ( Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan or Азәрбајҹан) is a country in the Caucasus adjacent to the Caspian Sea that shares borders with Russia in the north, Georgia, Armenia, in the west and Iran in the south. The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (an exclave) borders on Armenia, Iran, and Turkey. It has been a member of the Council of Europe since 2001, so for this and other reasons it is sometimes considered part of Europe, but it is considered to be in South West Asia by the United Nations due to its geographic and cultural characteristics.
