Azerbaijan Is Rich. Now It Wants to Be Famous. | Geography Education | Scoop.it

Azerbaijan has limited cultural prestige and international recognition, but it has great quantities of oil, and they are parlaying that wealth into an important geopolitical position in Central Asia.  It appears that Baku has ambitions to become the next Dubai.
