Countries that border Azerbaijan

5 land neighbours: Armenia, Georgia, Iran, Russia and Turkey. Each one has a page of its own.

Iran borders Azerbaijan too, but is drawn on the Asia map rather than this one — the border is real, it just spans two maps.

Why this one is hard

5 neighbours, and 6 pairs of them border each other too.

10 countries in Europe have more than its 5 land borders; it is the same as Bulgaria, Belarus, Switzerland, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Romania and Slovakia. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Russia is the most connected of them, with 14 land borders of its own. 4 of them are on the Europe map with Azerbaijan — Iran is on the Asia map instead. The world map is the one where all 5 meet.
