Azerbaijan's capital Baku the dirtiest city in the world / Bakü Dünya’nın en kirli şehri seçildi.
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
I'm kind of in agreement with the spokesperson below, as generally first-hand accounts of Baku don't give the impression of an incredibly dirty city like perhaps Port au Prince. Either that or the lack of clean water and basic sanitation leaves a much stronger impression on the casual traveller than dirty air from a lot of vehicle traffic and industry, because the latter is present in most cities around the world to a certain extent whereas basic water and sanitation is a given and probably that much more shocking when it's gone.
And I've never been to Baku either so I could easily be wrong.

I have been to Bangkok, Taipei, London and Baku is not as bad as they are. I wonder how come Baku is the first in the list.. I hope you can atleast visit Baku before you even post anything that has its name in it.
Baku is a great place to visit. It is developing every year more and more. I believe in 10 years it will be one of the most important and most visited places in the world. There is nothing wrong with its air. In fact, a nice chilly breeze from Caspian Sea makes walking in National Park even more pleasant at nights.
