Note: Nakhchivan, a peculiar autonomous exclave republic of Azerbaijan bordering Iran, Turkey, Armenia, but not Azerbaijan itself. “How does that even work?”, you asked?
You see, Nakhchivan was one of the first district to declare independence from the USSR in 1990 but due to the Armenia-Azerbaijan War that ravaged the land, the republic got cut off with Armenia controlling Kraki exclave, leaving Nakhchivan isolated from Azerbaijan mainland.
Many years have passed since the cut off and with the population of 400,000, the republic is striving against all odds and is becoming one of the most interesting places to visit for travelers who are looking to really get off the beaten paths.
