Thousands of young Azerbaijani and Armenian men died in this bloody war. Mothers cried, wives wept, and children wondered where their fathers went. All this while the oligarchy got richer, and is purchasing land in Karabakh as we speak. This entire conflict is indeed rooted in our history, but it's literally used by Aliyevs to control us. If the second war did not happen, the people would've caused an uprising, by winning the war he managed to tip the scale heavily in his favour.

But the thing is, focusing on the war with Armenia and celebrating this victory makes us forget the current situation. Haji Valiyev, a disabled veteran was arrested for speaking out against going to war! What kind of nonsense is this? Aliyev is pushing the Zangezur agenda in order for us to close our eyes on the internal problems. Savaşda döyüşən əsgərlər, şəhidlər, qazilər, hamısı kasıb ailədən gələn kişilərdi. Kasıb adam niyə varlının başlatdığı savaşı aparsın axı?!

What the hell is it?

Unlike the state of Azerbaijan, we would like to thank PM of Armenia for being one of the first offering condolences for the tragedy involving AZAL airplane.

MODs you failed again, Armenians are brigading posts without context from ultranationalist Armenian twitter users and you are doing absolutely nothing.

There are many people who identify with Azerbaijan. Let’s get to know the different Azerbaijanis.

Aliyev has threatened Armenia again during an interview with local TVs today. Calling Armenia a 'fascist state', he stated that 'fascism must be destroyed'.

'Either the Armenian leadership will destroy it, or we will destroy it. We have no other choice

What does everyone think of this

Hi everyone, just going to let you know that I don't want anyone to be in the trouble and that's why I'm not going to use any names, neither this account has any background as I want it to be as anonymous as it can be, thanks for understanding.

I’m 27 years old, Azerbaijani, and I thought I had the dream life. I had a good job in the banking sector in Luxembourg, (for privacy I'm not going to specify bank name) with good benefits and a promising future. My family had other plans, though. Three years ago they moved me back to Azerbaijan to get married. My husband's father was a big shot, and I was told that if everything went well with this marriage he would 'secure' my future.

Things started out alright, until his father passed away. Everything fell apart. My husband didn't know how to manage the finances and now we’re drowning in debt. But the worst part? His gambling addiction. He flushes what little money we have left and spends it in hopes of some big win. I've realized now that I gave up everything I cared about—my independence, all of the things I've worked hard for only to wind up stuck in this nightmare. I feel scared and ashamed, I feel like I've completely let myself down. I don’t know where to begin to rebuild my life.

If any of you have experienced something like this, I need advice. Is divorce the right thing for this case? I didn’t grow up living in Azerbaijan very much, so I’m not sure what the legal challenges may be. Am I a bad person for thinking about divorce? Or should I actually go for it, and start my life over? Any guidance or personal experience would help. Thanks for listening. I just needed to vent.

Republic of Azerbaijan – The official state language and the language of education.

Republic of Dagestan – One of the official state languages.

Georgia – Ethnic Azerbaijanis in Georgia have the right to receive education entirely in their mother tongue.

Iraqi Kurdistan – The language of Turcomans is officially recognized by the state, represented in parliament, and present in social life.

Islamic Republic of Iran – There is no official status, but Azerbaijani language classes are offered in schools 2-3 times a week, and there are Azerbaijani-language faculties at universities.

Armenia – Currently, there are no Azerbaijani-language universities or schools. They existed until the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Currently, there is no active Azerbaijani community in the country.

Republic of Turkey – The Azerbaijani language has no official status, and there are no Azerbaijani-language schools or universities.

The Azerbaijani language in Georgia, Kurdistan, and Dagestan is not under threat. In Iran, it faces a moderate threat, and in Turkey, it is at serious risk of extinction.

Lately there have been a lot of videos on YouTube from Pakistanis/Indians about local women ( a lot of times without even asking their persmisson to be filmed). I understand that our people are friendly and just trying to be kind. But they interpret every interaction with a woman with a vulgar subtext. They film some basic friendly conversations, then make preview with random half-naked women. Сomments section are really gross too. I just know 99,9% of azerbaijani women wouldnt even consider them as dating option and i know indians/Pakistanis do it in basically every country they go. But it's still doesn't get along with me and public opinion about them has become much worse.

Bro who did this map? This guy decided to Balkanize Azerbaijan, also actually calling Azerbaijan colonizers 😭 Azerbaijan is literally 95% Azeris

Even if they apologise we have to stop flying to russia and all airlines should stop flying to their airspace, so far Israel and I think UAE has stopped flying to them. They are not trustworthy it was a mistake to ever presume flights over there. This is the only way the understand. They don't care about how much they kill until they lose money. So many "rich" Russians used to use baku and use Istanbul as a loophole to go to Europe. I really hope other countries show solidarity and just stop flying there. Europe and USA doesn't . We should also stop transporting their g-s they need to lose money the fact that they still haven't apologised and you know what never mind we don't need their fake apology we need them to compensate and we they need to be isolated

EDIT: im not pro land borders being closed they should open but flying there is too risky

While the past make us into war and all bad things involved I am Armenian and I really hope soon that Armenians and Azerbaijanis will be closer, not every Armenians are involved in the politics and willing to hating each other, at the end we are all humans and we should work out to make things peaceful

Judging by the latest events, Ilham wants to isolate the country from the outside world. it's not strange, since everyone already knows that he's a complete bastard.

What's amazing is how no one gives a shit about what's going on. No protests or demonstrations in the country. Our opposition parties are just an illusion, toys of the government. Otherwise they would have been simply jailed like everyone else.

Abroad opposition is also dead, they discredit themselves by playing the role of pawn of other countries. They have no trust/recognition from the population of Azerbaijan. There is no civil society in the country, everyone is apathetic, although they are literally being deprived of their last chances for at least some kind of normal future in the country.

I just can't imagine another nation that doesn't care so much. Tomorrow they can raise taxes 5 times, VAT 10 times, and you know, for some reason I'm sure that there will be no reaction again.
What will make our people wake up? What will be the critical point? Or will everyone just wait until this devil dies and his wife/son takes his place? What is the reason that our nation is in such condition?

Azerbaijani version:

“Azərbaycan Hava Yolları”-na məxsus təyyarənin dəhşətli qəzası ilə bağlı daha çox təfərrüatlar məlum olur. @PresidentAZ Əliyevə və Azərbaycan xalqına başsağlığı verirəm.

Hər bir insan həyatı qiymətlidir və hər bir itki həqiqəti müəyyən etmək üçün hərtərəfli araşdırmaya layiqdir.

Qəza yerindəki aydın əyani sübut Rusiyanın bu faciəyə görə məsuliyyət daşıdığını göstərir.

Əgər Rusiya #MH17 ilə olduğu kimi yalan yaymağı seçərsə, biz həqiqəti bərqərar etmək və ədaləti təmin etmək üçün Moskvaya bütün beynəlxalq təzyiqləri birləşdirməliyik.

Imagine you have the opportunity to gain citizenship and live in any country in the world. Which country would you choose, and why?

Ölkənin vəziyyəti ilə bağlı nəsə bir dərd olanda, ya da başqaları Azərbaycan ənənəsini özgə ənənələrlə müqayisə edəndə (və pis tərəflərini tapanda), günahı (adətən, hər vaxt olmasa da) ərəblərin üstünə atırlar – türklərin elədiyi kimi. Amma məsəl var ki, Azərbaycanda heç ərəb dərdi var?

Türklər ərəblərdən gileylənirlər, çünki tarixin gedişində onlarla yanaşı yaşayıblar və çoxlu hadisələrlə üzləşiblər. Sonralar milyonlarla ərəb onların ölkəsinə axışıb, qanun-qaydanı pozub və ölkəni pis tanıdıb. Həmçini, Türkiyənin ərəb ölkələrinin çoxusuyla siyasi vəziyyəti qarışıqdır. Və başqa səbəblər də var ki, onları açmağa vacib görmürəm. Dəqiq desək, türklərin ərəblərdən gileylənməyə və dərdlərinin çoxunda onları qınamağa haqları var.

Amma bəzi azərbaycanlılar niyə onları qınayır?😂 Azərbaycanda bir dənə də ərəb qaçqını yoxdu, gəlmə adamlar ancaq qonaq kimi gəlirlər, onsuz da onları hər yerdə, ölkədə görmək olar. Burada ərəb yaşamır. Biz tarix boyu ərəblərlə türklər qədər qaynayıb-qarışmamışıq. Ənənəmizə də onlardan keçən bir-iki kiçik şey var, vəssalam. Bizdə əsas dərd ruslaşmadır və üstünə bir az da fars təsirini gəlsən, lap yerinə düşər. Yəni ərəb buralarda nə dəxlisi?😂 Əgər kimisə qınamaq lazımdırsa, burda adətən ruslar və bəlkə də farslar olur, ərəblər yox. Onlar, türklərin məsələsidir.

Hello dearests! Today, I want to put an end to a long-standing misconception: Being a nomad is not something to be ashamed of; on the contrary, it's something to be proud of. For a long time, we've been familiar with the derogatory words of radical Armenian nationalists and Persian nationalists: Azerbaianis are inferior nomads. But is being a nomad really a bad thing? Decide for yourselves. To tell the truth, nomads were looked down upon even in the times of the Romans. In fact, Cain, who killed his brother Abel, was punished with nomadism by God. So, what was the reason for the negative view of nomadism? 1) Nomads were not obedient; they had a rebellious, freedom-loving spirit. States could collect taxes from settled people, but it was very difficult to collect from nomads. For a nomad, freedom is everything. 2) Nomads were closer to an egalitarian social structure. They lived a communal life, helping each other as small communities. 3) Nomadic women had a more egalitarian role in the community. Therefore, they were seen as masculine and belittled by Westerners. Because nomadic women were riding horses, fighting, and governing the community.

Yes, because of these reasons, nomadism was demonized by the Roman Empire, which was misogynistic and highly focused on taxation. Frankly, as an Azerbaijani, I am proud to be a nomad known for their freedom, rebelliousness, and egalitarianism, and I wish we could still live as nomads today. Being nomadic is not something we should be ashamed of; on the contrary, it's something we should be proud of. Just because the lifestyle, social structures, and art movements of nomads were different from settled societies doesn't make them inferior.
