Seen in Azerbaijan

The Republic of Azerbaijan is an important country of the Eurasian continent and it is the largest as well as the most populated region in South Caucasus. While the capital, Baku, has rapidly transformed itself into a highly developed modern city, the surrounding villages still remain untouched and archaic.Azerbaijan is divided partially between Eastern Europe and Western Asia. On its eastern side lies the Caspian Sea, whilst the Russian Federation borders it on the north. Azerbaijan if formed of 65 regions and 69 cities. While Azerbaijani is the official language spoken, due to Russia’s rule for so many years, Russian and Turkish languages are widely spoken. In some regions, people also converse in English, German and Arabic. Azerbaijan is a secular and unitary republic consisting mostly of Ethnic Azeri and Shia Muslims who form a major part of its population. Orthodox Christians and Jews also play their own role in the form of minorities.
