Azerbaijan was in European USSR prior to it's break up in 1991. It has not moved and therefore is in Europe along with the Baltic states, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia and Armenia (and Russia of course).

You didn't even look at my link, did you?

If the only reason you think Azerbaijan is in Europe is because it was part of the USSR before, then you will be misled due to outdated information. The current boundary has changed since then and is now along the Northern border of Azerbaijan, which means the country is in Asia. Here's another image to help clarify [LINK]. Azerbaijan is the dark blue intercontinental state, but clearly shown to be in Asia. Here's another article [LINK]. If you still don't trust Wikipedia, here's the CIA website for you. [LINK].

If you want to convince me or anyone else that Azerbaijan is in Europe, you have to do a better job than "It was in the USSR before".

The way we learned it in school here in Europe, the eastern European border is purely geographical. It's formed by the Bosporus in Istanbul, The Caucasus, the Ural mountain range and the Ural river.

So geographically speaking parts of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Kazakhstan are as European as Iceland. He isn't as wrong as you guys all make him out to be.

I'll concede the point of them being the same landmass, but the acknowledged and conventional 'border' dividing it into 2 continents is a convenient way to divide up the countries. Arguing about it is asinine, especially since jetpunk as a whole consistently groups countries by the convention CtG526 referenced above.

The border might be conventional, that doesn't mean it is "acknowledged." Acknowledged by who? You can look at different maps and see different countries included in Europe depending on the map. It's not quite as fuzzy as "the Middle East," but it's not as definite as you claim, plats. I mean check this out, which clearly indicates it's a complete f'ing mess and even then, if you go by the "most common" most recently used convention, take a look, the border passes right through Azerbaijan making it both European and Asian. Georgia's in the same boat.

I apologize for not making my meaning clearer--I did not mean to state that the actual situation of countries and cultural discrepancies of continental definitions was not complex, but merely that the convention used in this context, although arguably arbitrary, is not ambiguous. 'Acknowledged' in my comment simply meant acknowledged by the convention of JetPunk.

I kinda feel that this entire argument stems from the fact that by any sensible definition Asia and Europe are not distinct continents, but parts of a single super-continent. If we must divide them, then I would say the balance of sources place it in Asia. And if we consider the Caucasus to be the Europe-Asia divide (as overwhelmingly is the case), then Azerbaijan, lies distinctly to the south of the spine of that mountain range, meaning it is in Asia. But again, it's all fairly arbitrary anyway - only ancient and outdated custom divides Europe from Asia, they are not in any physical sense separate continents.
Sifhraven

Mar 18, 2020
Ancient and outdated customs? That is like saying only ancient an outdated customs divide the US from mexico, so there is no actual border, so they are one country..

<>ALL borders are devised by men, some decisions were made easy by the presence of water (or in some cases, mountainranges *cough*caucasus*cough), but even that was not always a definitive border (newfoundland isnt, currently, its own country for example).

I dont get why people trip over this border and act like it isnt real or counts and they dont act the same way about country or state borders. Like those are projected from heaven by a laserbeam..

HabKey31

Personally, I prefer the Eurasia stance, buy I can see where you're coming from. I am much more of a geography guy so I base my continents on that, but the reason I would suggest this is that it is a logical solution that can solve the many, MANY "is Cyprus in Europe" debates on this site.

Also the reason people consider country and state/province boundaries to be so much more exact is that people feel they matter more. Like it's an organized international dispute rather than random people mostly not from those places arguing over them on the internet. It probably doesn't matter so much to those countries what continent they're in, just what organizations they're in.

This whole debate is quite sill because continents are subjective and could move depending on what it is you do. If you monitor earthquakes, for example, you'd probably use geological tectonic plates to view them, then just ditch that and use countries when announcing that to the public.

what I'm really saying is that

HabKey31

we're arguing objectively over something that is pretty subjective. when referring to continents, people wouldn't need exact borders except for situations like the one here. they just need a general boundary.

Here we go again! Now, instead of Cyprus, we're arguing about Azerbaijan. Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if the cartographers

were to just re-map the world and put "Europe" where it rightfully belongs, in Asia? (or make Asia part of Europe; I don't care which,

as it puts an end to these interminable arguments).

Weird how there are three people that cant distinguish v's from z's is that a regional thing? For one person it is odd, but for three, what are the odds... that doesnt seem like a coincidence (it is not like they sound alike. Or that it is 3 in a million)

I didn't like the name change, and I was hoping it wouldn't stick. Keep in mind that Eswatini is one of the least free democratic countries on Earth. In fact, it is one of the few remaining absolute monarchies. So I really don't care if the king changes the name. But if people use the new name (and it seems like they are) then it gains legitimacy. This is the same reason I switched from Burma to Myanmar a couple years back.

By the way, official UN names are often really silly. Witness "Islamic Republic of Iran", "Plurinational State of Bolivia", or "Viet Nam". It makes dealing with UN data a pain in the butt sometimes.
