🇦🇿 government is gearing up to host #COP29 But their preparation is not about devising plans to support a green economy or limiting global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Instead, authorities have been attacking the remaining independent voices

Azerbaijan clears out critics ahead of COP29

Azerbaijan has had one of the lowest international rankings on citizens’ rights and freedoms. Even so, Azerbaijani President Aliyev has insisted persecutions against civil society are justified.

Finally, the EU’s commitment to shared values with the EaP countries rings hollow when it isolates Alexander Lukashenko’s regime in Belarus, but welcomes Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, whose regime is at least as repressive and authoritarian as Belarus’s.

Friends, colleagues. Please do not ask whether I think the fighting will get worse or it will last longer. I am just like you, watching the news and trying to make sense of it all. I don’t have a magic ball telling me what the future holds.

His name is currently trending on Twitter. Taylan Antalyali is a soccer player. After wearing this t-shirt in support of #pride he has been under attack. Some are even calling to remove him from Turkey's National Soccer Team and from Galatasaray where he is playing at the moment.

The recently opened Military Trophy Park in Baku is a shameful display that will bring no benefit to ordinary Azerbaijanis. Even the Park’s defenders are forced to rely on false and disingenuous comparisons to justify its existence.

Perhaps now that much of the western leaders have come together to respond to Putin's aggression, they would do the same to all the other remaining aggressors who have been tolerated for far too long.

Less we forget, at least 6 journalists were arrested in recent weeks in Azerbaijan. The diplomatic "breakthrough" and recent announcement for prisoner exchange between Armenia and Azerbaijan should not overshadow the crackdown not to mention sudden "urge" to hold snap elections.
