Azerbaijan is a country in a central Asia.

Evidently, geography is not this editor's strong point. Azerbaijan is a country in the Caucasus, not central Asia.

To be fair it's something that's been argued by many with many different conclusions. Usually the argument regards Europe or Asia, not central Asia.

excerpt:

"I was asked today why I list Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan as Asian countries while some other websites list them as European countries. My answer was as follows... "There’s no official definition of the boundary between Asia and Europe (nor between any continent for that matter) so the boundaries are merely traditional. The Caucasus Mountains have traditionally divided the two continents and these three countries are to the south of that boundary."

Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in Asia or Europe?
