Newspaper of Azerbaijan is a great way to get a "feel" for the country. Browse these many links to find out current news, history, and even view photos of ordinary folks from Baku.
Azerbaijan TV stuck me as funny....because so much of it was in Spanish....Mexican soap operas. I would sometime "pinch" myself to remind me that I was in Azerbaijan....not Mexico or South America.
Azerbaijan News nicely chronicled and easy to access. For history buffs there's an informative history section. Being close to the fertile crescent and also to Mt. Ararat, where Noah landed and from where the earth re-populated once again....makes Azerbaijan an archaeologist's dream. How about historical maps, documents? This is a great resource for them.
