Travel Alerts, Travel Warnings & Country Specific Information

Travel Alerts

There are currently no specific State Department travel alert pertaining to Azerbaijan. Travelers are advised to familiarize themselves with conditions in the broader region.

As a result of conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh area, insurgent forces occupy approximately 15 percent of Azerbaijani territory (in the southwest along the borders with Iran and Armenia).  A cease-fire has been in effect in the Nagorno-Karabakh region since 1994, although reports of armed clashes along the cease-fire line and along the border with Armenia continue.  It is not possible to enter the self-proclaimed “Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh,” which is not recognized by the United States, from Azerbaijan.  Travelers are cautioned to avoid travel to Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding occupied areas.
