  the country live in the metropolitan city area of Baku.

  of OilRocks built on stilts in the Caspian Sea, 60 km (37 mi) away from

borrowed from the Russian word "moneta” (coin) which is pronounced as "maneta". Manat was
also the designation of the Soviet rublle in both the Azerbaijani and Turkmen languages.

 Tourism is a growing part of the economy of Azerbaijan. The country was a well-
  known tourist spot in the 1980s, yet, the Nagorno-Karabakh war during the 1990s
  crippled the tourist industry and negatively impacted the image of Azerbaijan as a
  tourist destination.
 It was not until 2000s (decade) that the tourism industry began to recover, and the
  country has since experienced a high rate of growth in the number of tourist visits
  and overnight stays. In the recent years, Azerbaijan has also become a more popular
  destination for religious, spa, and health care tourism.

  civilians from the town of Khojaly on 25–26 February 1992 by the Armenian and, 
  partially, by CIS armed forces during the Nagorn-Karabakh war. According to the 
  Azerbaijani side, as well as Memorial Human Rights Center, Human Rights Watch and 
  other international observers,the massacre was committed by the 
  ethnic Armenian armed forces, reportedly with help of the Russian 366th Motor Rifle 
  Regiment, apparently not acting on orders from the command. The death toll provided 
  by Azerbaijani authorities is 613 civilians, including 106 women and 83 children. The 
  event became the largest massacre in the course of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
