What are the requirements to get a short business visa to Spain?

Accepted answer

La France représente la Belgique, l’Espagne, le Luxembourg, les Pays-Bas, le Portugal et la Suède pour toutes les demandes de visas de court séjour Schengen.

The French embassy in Baku is competent to consider and issue Schengen visas on behalf of Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden.

Supporting documents must be submitted in French or English. The requirement for issuance of Schengen visas is broadly similar (and legally uniform) and you can consult the document list required for a French-issued Schengen visa in case of a business visit.

The list of embassies of the spanish government states for Azerbaijan, that the competent Spanish embassy is the Turkish one

But, the Schengen Visa Code hanbook on 1.6 says :

Should a Member State consulate accept an application from an applicant travelling to a Member State that is not present or represented in the third country where the applicant resides?

Article 5(4) entails an obligation for Member States to cooperate in order to prevent such situations of Member States not being present or represented and thus, this obligation is an obligation of means, not an obligation of result. Therefore, Member States are not obliged to accept visa applications that they are not competent to examine and take decisions on according to the rules set out above where the competent Member State is not present or represented.

However, considering that this provision is contained in the article concerning the ”Member State competent for examining and deciding on an application”, a Member State may, in the absence of the normally competent Member State, agree to examine such applications in individual, exceptional circumstances and take a decision on it – for reasons of justified urgency, and – after having obtained the agreement of the normally responsible Member State.

This means that unless Spain has an agreement with another Schengen member (which is likely) or it has justified urgency, you can't apply for it in Azerbaijan.

I would suggest you to contact the Turkish embassy and ask for the guidance on how to apply from Azerbaijan
