What you will see
Baku is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 14:11:13 local time, the Moon hides 26.9% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 13:13:04 and ends at 15:06:46, 1 h 54 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 61° above the horizon, towards the south-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Baku.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,135 km south-west of Baku.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Al Quşayr, about 2,144 km south-west, where totality lasts 2 m 19 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
