It's on the Caspian Sea, next to Iran. It's a 5.5 - 6.5 hour flight from London, and Expedia quotes a direct flight on BA for £866.70 return, or nearly £1700 for a flight via BA and Lufthansa changing in Frankfurt !! They used to use the Russian alphabet for their language, which is related to Turkish, but switched to an adapted Western alphabet (some odd characters there!) once they became independent... this leads to some interesting spellings on TV match coverage, "Ryan Giggs" became "Rayan Qiqqs" for instance... Bet England won't beat the 4 goal Wales scored when they played in Baku, anyway! -- Arwel Parry http://www.cartref.demon.co.uk/ |

This is a joke, right? You want to go to Azerbaijan and want to learn about it's geographic location by posting a message on a newsgroup? What are you going to ask for next - eastery recommendations in Baku? |

Also, Ben, since you are going to watch England play Azerbaijan, you probably do know that Azerbaijan is a country. Therefore, Azerbaijan cannot be 'in' Morocco, which also happens to be a country incidentally. I think it's on the Atlantic, a few miles off the coast of Tiera del Fuego I believe. |

I'm sorry but you've got me there. He's going in October, what's Easter go to do with it. Do the Azeries celebrate Easter at a different time (like the greeks), though as 95% are Muslim they don't celebrate Easter at all, do they? tim .. |

Moreover, I think England should be able to handle the Azeris without the invocation of Christ, if they play like they did today. :-) |
