I grew up in the city of Sumgait which saw the ethnic cleansing of Armenians. My school headteacher was a lady who participated in the Karabakh war. She once called me and other students into a room and talked about how she cut the heads and ears of Armenians.
Dear Armenians, growing up in Azerbaijan as a Talysh has taught me a lot. They will try to convince you that you are powerless, that no one will help you, and that you will be alone forever. They will try to create deep despair in you. Remember one thing: If they have money, we
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:
You occupy it, you seize the house. Then you demolish that house.
You rebuild it and put someone else in it. Then you call him a 'settler'.
This is not settler. This is theft. That's how it should be called from now on.
Azeris ask me why I support Armenians. History is of no interest to me when it comes to this. I'm more interested in the situation regarding human rights and society building.
Even as billions of dollars come to Azerbaijan from oil revenues, we haven't been able to establish an
I am Talysh and we have problems. The Azerbaijani government killed two Talysh professors: Novruzali Mammadov and Fakhraddin Abbasov. The government also killed my father and uncle. What do you mean by saying we don't have any issues?

You must understand that peace does not come with separatism & illegal, armed regime on the territory of 🇦🇿
You say respect, dignity, freedom? There are a number of big ethnic groups in Azerbaijan. They don't have those issues.
Armenians will not have those issues too.
Farzaliyev Elnur, a war veteran of Azerbaijan, tells how he cut off the heads and ears of Armenians and divided their bodies into two parts.
He also says that he brought the ears cut off from the Armenian bodies to his village and gave them to the Azeri people.

Do you remember when Erdogan ordered his security forces to physically assault Armenian protesters? Erdogan was the first to legitimize this kind of violence.
When I was in Azerbaijan they tried to scare me with long-term imprisonment. I said that I would hold a hunger strike if I were to be imprisoned. They said they would beat me up and force-feed me. This is similar to how the AzGov is sending “food aid” to Artsakh.
Azerbaijan commits genocide not only against Armenians, but also against Talysh nation. 14 of the 80 solider (from Aze side) killed during the recent military operations were Talyshs between the ages of 18 and 22. Most of them were called up for military service not voluntarily,
My income comes from my small business. I have never been paid nor have I received any money offer from any Armenian organizations or individuals. But AzGov members offered me to work for them 2 times.

1. I am a citizen of Az and grew up in Az. Therefore, I know what problems we have and how to solve them. It isn’t my responsibility to write about Armenia.
2. I left Azerbaijan because AzGov tried to kill me. How can I invite the Armenians to live there?
What Azerbaijan is doing is ethnic cleansing. But the statement that “Armenians are leaving Karabakh of their own free will” also shows that Azerbaijan is not a stable country.
Why don’t Armenians leave from Russia, Iran, Europe, Georgia, USA, but leave Azerbaijan? Why do
"Azerbaijani language for Talysh primary schools" book was prepared in 1937 for the forced transition of Talysh language schools to the Azerbaijani language.
In 1937, by order of Stalin, the Talysh were forced to study in the Azerbaijani language. More than 30 thousand Talysh
Today is the 31th anniversary of the pogroms against Armenians in Baku. As a result, more than 100 Armenians were killed by pro-Turkey nationalists, and many Armenian families were forced to move from Baku. With the arrival of Soviet troops in Baku, the pogroms were prevented.+
According to the laws of Azerbaijan, Aishan Mammadli should be arrested “for inciting ethnic hatred.” If there are no arrests, this will be further evidence of support of AzeGov for ethnic cleansing.
The victory in the war against Nagorno Karabakh is celebrated in Baku, waving the flags of Russia and Turkey. Once again, we were convinced that this was a Russian-Turkish war against 120,000 peaceful Armenians.

If we (Az citizens) haven’t been able to build either a normal government or a civil society, the Armenians are free to decide about their future. Human rights are more important than territorial integrity. Because without the people we cannot build any government.

I participated in an open lecture by Firudin Jalilov in Baku.

AzeGov officials are still using the terms "them" (Armenians) and "us" (Azeris) when talking about Armenians. This kind of rhetoric once again demonstrates that the AzeGov doesn’t see Armenians as its own citizens and it discriminates between ethnic Azeris and ethnic Armenians.

Turkish and Azeri nationalists have been sympathetic to each other for years. But after the recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there was a very negative opinion of Azeris in Turkish society. Turkish social network users are posting videos titled "Azeris are not our brothers".
Pan-Turkism is the main problem against Democracy and Human Rights and it is getting worse. Turkey and Azerbaijan are main founders of Pan-Turkism.
Kurds played an important role in the fight against Pan-Turkism in Turkey, as well as in the development of democratic processes.
We never had the opportunity to choose a president, a constitution, a prime minister or parliament member. So how can Azerbaijan be my nation, my government? Believe it or not, AzeGov is the Hall of Shame. You serve a government that has never considered you a person, a citizen,
