"Azerbaijan is a culturally diverse country with a rich history and a unique language. Expats should be aware that the official language is Azerbaijani, although Russian is widely spoken. Expats should also be aware that the country is predominantly Muslim, and that religious customs and traditions should be respected. Additionally, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Azerbaijan is relatively low, and that the country offers a wide range of leisure activities and attractions. Finally, expats should be aware that the country has a temperate climate, with hot summers and cold winters," remarked another expat who made the move to Azerbaijan.
