List of cities in Azerbaijan

Map of Azerbaijan

This is a list of cities in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a country in the South Caucasus region, situated at the crossroads of Southwest Asia and Southeastern Europe.<ref>While often politically aligned with Europe, Azerbaijan is generally considered to be at least mostly in Southwest or Western Asia geographically with its northern part bisected by the standard Asia-Europe divide, the Greater Caucasus. The United Nations classification of world regions places Azerbaijan in Western Asia; the CIA World Factbook places it mostly in Southwest Asia [1] and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary places it in both; NationalGeographic.com, and Encyclopædia Britannica also place Georgia in Asia. Conversely, some sources place Azerbaijan in Europe such as Worldatlas.com.</ref> As of 2013, Azerbaijan has 78 cities, including 10 cities of republican subordination, 67 district-level cities, and 1 special legal status city. These are followed by 260 urban-type settlements and 4,252 villages.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
