The west side of the Caspian Sea is covered with mountains, which trap moist air and force it to cool by lifting it, while the east side, or Turkmenistan, is mostly flat, and moist air just passes through there without any precipitation.

Maintains and altitude

Edit: higher altitude equals less heat, more clouds condensating on mountains and securing water flow & moisture. Plants can usually work with a colder weather as long as water is secured.

Low altitudes with little rainfall and hot weather means that plants hardly grow there.

İf Azerbaijan had the same height and flatness as Turkmenistan it would also be very dry
