Azerbaijani border town ? Geo Quiz answer
The answer to today’s Geo Quiz is Astana, Azerbaijan. This city near the Caspian Sea is located on the Azeri-Iran border so it attracts plenty of Iranians who come across the border to shop for everything from sex and alcohol to fresh fruit and DVDs. Reporter Peter Savodnik talks with anchor Marco Werman about this border town nicknamed the ‘Tijuana of the Caspian’.
