    Introduction to Azerbaijan VALIDATION COPY 1.0 JUNE 2007 GEOGRAPHY Azerbaijan occupies the southeastern part of the Caucasus, descending to the Caspian Sea, between Iran and the Russian Federation (Dagestan). The country is located between Europe and Asia, as the Caucasus Mountains are the conventional border between the two continents. So, the northeast half is in Europe and the southwest half is in Asia. Bear this in mind when looking for Azerbaijan on a map or in a reference book since it may be classified under Europe or Asia. Azerbaijan is a member of the Council of Europe. Azeris like to describe the country as “shaped like an eagle”, with its “wings” spread on the Caucasus and its “head”, the Absheron Peninsula, over the Caspian Sea. Geographic co-ordinates: 40 30 N, 47 30 E (380 25"-410 55" of n.l. and 440 50"-500 52" e.l.) The time zone in Azerbaijan is GMT +4 Elevation extremes: -lowest point: Caspian Sea -28 m -highest point: Bazarduzu Dagi 4,466 m 1 CLIMATE Azerbaijan has a varied climate. It is subtropical and dry in central and eastern Azerbaijan, subtropical and humid in the southeast (Lenkoran lowlands), temperate along the shores of the Caspian Sea, and cold at the higher mountain elevations. In Baku the climate is cool in the winter, averaging 4°C (40 F) in January. Summers are hot (up to 40°C /112° F) and humid because of the sea. There are often strong winds, especially in winter. Snow rarely settles in the city. Spring and autumn are pleasant and there is a great deal of sunshine from April to October Because most of Azerbaijan receives scant rainfall - on average 152 (6”) to 254 (10”) millimeters annually - agricultural areas require irrigation.
