Politically, Azerbaijan is divided into:
- 59 districts (rayonlar; sing.– rayon),
- 11 cities (şəhərlər; sing.– şəhər),
- 1 autonomous republic (muxtar respublika), which itself contains:
- 7 districts
- 1 city
This list is for the main part of Azerbaijan; the rayons of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic are listed below and numbered separately. Some rayons are completely or partially in the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, shown on the map in green; this is noted in the list.
The rayons are further divided into municipalities.
Famous quotes containing the word divisions:
“I find myself ... hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
