Azerbaijan has a longstanding risk presented by terrorist groups, who continue plotting possible attacks in Azerbaijan.

Do not travel to:
The Nagorno-Karabakh region due to armed conflict.
Casualties continue to occur in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Intermittent gunfire and occasional use of artillery systems, including land mines and mortars, result in deaths and injuries each year. Avoid roads near the ‘line of contact’ and roads near the international border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Nagorno-Karabakh as U.S. government employees are restricted from traveling there.
