.az is the country extension for Azerbaijan. The economy of this country, situated on the shores of the Caspian Sea in the South Caucasus, is based on oil and gas production; its capital, Baku, is one of the region’s most important business centres.

The extension is free for anyone to use. It provides a local presence for companies entering the Azerbaijani market, as well as for commercial and energy partners, and search engines associate the results with the country.
