Azerbaijan also known as a “Land of Fire”. There are several beliefs about the origin of this nickname. According to certain historians, it comes from the ancient culture of Zoroastrianism, which belongs the years dated before Christ. It was a religion with an ideology of fire worship. Moreover, certain people assume that the country is called “Land of Fire” for the wide range of oil and gas reserves it has.
