In my opinion, we must make sure that we enforce English as much as possible since it is the only language that we can use in order to create more well-skilled people. We must also make sure that we use proper and pure Azerbaijani apart from Russian, Turkish and Persian influences. Because no matter how much we deceive ourselves, our citizens are suffering a lot when they go to foreign countries since they cannot use their language skills for their majors. It is almost impossible for an Azerbaijani to compete with a German in Frankfurt in any major. I hate those people who do not keep saying Russian is also useful, it is not. Because you can only go to really poor countries and work there for what? 1-2 dollars per hour? All the Russians I have seen so far in the USA struggle really hard to learn English. And I, as a nationalist Azerbaijani, do not want to see my nation in the same position as Russians. Let's say that you finished computer science in an elite university of Azerbaijan, right? You are gonna suffer a bit if you are considering to go to Europe and compete with other guys who are very well-experienced and speak English at C1 level. Also, the annoying effect of the Turkish language over our own language must also be removed. I personally think a smart enough Azerbaijani is surely gonna speak his/her language properly since education level is more than an average guy from a rural area of the Republic. I think the only reason why our people are heavily influenced by the Turks is that we do not have decent Azerbaijani content creators. I mean look at all those good content creators in Azerbaijan, you will actually see that people watch them when they actually do good at creating useful content. I think another reason why we do not have good content creators is that even apolitic people get into trouble after some point because the government does not want anyone to have a huge auditory over an audience. I believe that if we had a democratic government our people's psychology of seeing themselves as little brothers of Turks would stop. That is the reason why if you are an elite person (an influencer, a blogger or maybe a politician) and dont wanna lose your fame then you gotta deal with the government. If you dont, the government is gonna prevent you from being a different person and creating content in Azerbaijani. I am not saying we should enforce English to be a puppet country of the US, it is just that it is an international language and we should teach English properly in our schools. If possible, we should choose the smart students and force them to learn English as their mother tongue (from 8th grade to 11th grade), so that they will be able to compete with an average European guy. Another annoying thing I see is that our language is not getting the value it deserves. Go to a random cinema, you will actually see that the only language you can ever watch a movie is Russian. I sincerely feel like every other people of different nationality seems to live and get respect better than Azerbaijanis. It kinda reminds me a quote from Mahmud Asad Bozkurt - "For centuries, we shed blood and gave our lives in this country, yet it was always others who profited. The Turk in this land was only a soldier; he worked, died, and was killed. But others withdrew to a corner and reaped all the benefits." The condition of Azerbaijanis in Azerbaijan is no different than the condition of Turks in the Ottoman era. It is painful to see it.

Bilmirəm, bu sub belə mövzuya nə dərəcədə uyğundur. Reddit də təzəyəm çünki. Əgər sil desəniz, siləcəm.

Məsələyə keçim.

Ortalama bir Azərbaycan gənciyəm. Atam mənim yüksəlməyim üçün YAP a üzv olmağımı istəyir, hətta bunun üçün üzərimdə kifayət qədər təyziq də qurur. Nə qədər qarşı olduğumu desəm də, mənlə razılaşmır, mənə oranı tərifləməyə başlayır. Əlbəttə sözündə həqiqət də var. Yaltaqlıq edərək orada rahatlıqla yüksəlmək mümkündür. Amma mən bunu şəxsiyyətimə sığdırmaram. Uşaqlıqdan bəri azad düşüncəylə böyümüş birisinə bunu məsləhət görmək çöl göyərçinini qəfəsə salmaqdan fərqsizdir.

Dünən bu barədə çox danışdıq, dava elədik dəsəm, böyütmərəm. Bu söhbətdən sonra da gözüm bir qədər də açıldı və bu ölkədə qalmağın nə qədər səhv seçim olduğunu bir daha da anladım.

Öz yolumda irəliləsəm də yaxşı yerə gələcəyimdən əminəm və digər yolu seçməyəcəyimə qərarlıyam.

Almaq istədiyim məsləhət atamla aramdakı münasibət necə yoluna qoya biləcəyimdir? Nə qədər qatı mühafizəkar düşüncələri olsa da, məntiq adamıdır. Dediklərini də mənim yaxşılığım üçündür (nə qədər razı olmasam da). Belə atayla pis münasibətdə olmaq istəmərəm.

Bit of a silly situation but, my grandfather was Armenian to my knowledge my last name ends with Yan, I really like this girl from Azerbaijan I've known for a long time and she likes me back but she is afraid, would changing my name not work? And then taking hers even eventually, is there nothing I can do? She thinks that the government will somehow find out, I don't have any real connection to Armenia and I really love this girl, any help would be appropriated.

Hello, my dear friends, do you know any dojo in Baku that teaches Kyokshin karate? I visited once with Sensei when I was a kid, so I know there is at least one, but I don't remember the location or place to ask. For adults btw. Thanks in advance.

Can we say that he didn't made any comments (neither supporting the detention of İmamoğlu, nor condemning the protests as one would expect from him) in order to keep the strong relationship even if the government changes? Even USA allegedly supported the detention of İmamoğlu (under Trump, it shouldn't be that surprising, but still wasn't USA the leader of "free world?). Meanwhile, Aliyev is not as pro-Erdoğan as before (he openly supported him in 2023 elections, and we all know about their friendship). Isn't this weird?

Am going to visit Baku for 3 days. Where can I find a good reliable shop for data SIM card without being scammed/tricked? Thanks

Just how cooked are we ?
