ISO 3166-2:AZ
ISO 3166-2:AZ is the entry for Azerbaijan in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for Azerbaijan, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for two levels of subdivisions:
- 1 autonomous republic (i.e., Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic)
- 11 municipalities and 66 rayons
The eleven municipalities have special status equal to the rayons. Şuşa, the disputed municipality, has been removed from the list.
Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is AZ, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Azerbaijan. The second part is either of the following:
- two letters: autonomous republic and municipalities
- three letters: rayons
Current codes
Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
