Which one of the following countries does NOT border the Caspian Sea?
Result
Your answer:
—
·
Correct:
A
Explanation
Authoritative sources list five Caspian littoral states: Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Azerbaijan and Russia, each having coastline on the Caspian Sea [2]. Options 2 (Azerbaijan), 3 (Kazakhstan) and 4 (Turkmenistan) are therefore Caspian-bordering countries. Armenia, by contrast, is a landlocked country in the South Caucasus and does not have a coastline on the Caspian; it is not included among the five littoral states listed by major references [2]. Hence Armenia (option 1) does NOT border the Caspian Sea.
