A country in two pieces
The smaller piece in the southwest is Nakhchivan, an exclave of Azerbaijan: Armenia lies between it and the rest of the country. Clockwise from the north the neighbors are Russia, Iran, Turkey, Armenia and Georgia. Turkey touches only Nakhchivan.
- Four of the five neighbors run off the edge of the sheet, so that Azerbaijan fills it.
