"Free Speech Held Hostage in Baku"

Within a single month, the government of Azerbaijan has managed to quote Nazi propaganda in its campaign against minorities, arrest a Jewish journalist for speaking the truth, and bomb regions where they were scheduled to meet for peace talks.

This is reality for Azerbaijan, and unfortunately, for its minorities.

While it is commonplace for Baku to disseminate propaganda stylized after Europe’s worst fascist regime against its minorities, and to reward the killings of innocent people with land and wealth, it is not all too common to see a citizen of Azerbaijan’s ally, Israel, get caught in the crosshairs.

For the first time, a journalist has been arrested under Baku’s disturbing blacklist provision. The criminalization of free speech and journalism is both inhumane and brings to light the level of corruption in Azerbaijan and Belarus.

The arrested blogger, Alexander Lapshin, faces steep punishment in Azerbaijan. His crime? He visited a region where the native population still reside and wrote about it on his blog. This region is none other than Artsakh, as it is known by the people who have lived there for thousands of years, and known as Nagorno-Karabagh (NKR) internationally.

Alexander spoke honestly about the local people, and the inhumane violence unleashed upon them by the Azeri government. The president of Azerbaijan rules in dynastic fashion, where his family and close relatives hold power, and have done so for generations. This comes with great expense to its peoples’ freedoms and aspirations for a better life.

Aliyev’s regime needs to keep prejudices in the population high in order to keep a teetering stranglehold over the oil wealth of his nation. Rather than mend the wounds of a violent past caused by Stalin’s policies of division, he continues to perpetuate a state of chaos for his country and the region.

Alexander Lapshin deserves freedom. It is a disgrace of Belarus’ government to extradite him. He must be freed. We must do more to bring light on this issue to the world. In order for the government to change its policy of oppression and genocide towards the native population there needs to be a blockade placed upon Azerbaijan. There needs to be increased pressure to free Alexander, and it needs to come from Israel and Russia too.

Which is curious. Azeris have to drive through Iranian territory to get to their exclave, Nakhchivan. Yet they don't get along that well with Iran?

Their relations aren't that bad. Azerbaijan is only truly enemies with Armenia.

Azerbaijan took a whipping in the Karabakh War (1988-1994). Azeri Prisoners of War (POW) shown here are "cucked" into giving a pathetic performance of their national anthem (in the cold snow), while in the custody of the victorious Armenians. These scenes are from the last two years of the war. The conversations are translated with subtitles.

"President Aliyev Appoints Wife as Azerbaijan’s Vice-President"

BAKU, Azerbaijan (A.W.)—Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev appointed his wife Mehriban Aliyeva as the country’s Vice-President on Feb. 21, in a move that has been widely criticized as way for Aliyev to tighten his grip on power in the country.

According to a statement released on Azerbaijan’s official presidential website, the appointment came during meeting of the country’s Security Council under the chairmanship of the President.

In Sept. 2016, Azerbaijan held a referendum, which extended presidential terms from five years to seven and created a strong Vice-Presidency.

Mehriban Aliyeva, 52, is a Member of Parliament and the deputy chair the ruling New Azerbaijan Party and heads the Heidar Aliyev Foundation—a non-governmental organization named after Aliyev’s father, former Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev, who ruled the country from 1993-2003.

Despite being active in Azerbaijani politics, leaked U.S. diplomatic cables revealed in 2010 that Aliyeva appears to be “poorly informed about political issues,” and that her family has vast business interests throughout Azerbaijan.

Cry baby cry, butthurt Armenians.

Don't shoot the messenger: I'm just reporting statements supported by factual reference sources, much of it about Azerbaijan's internal problems. That doesn't mean that I'll be silent about Azerbaijan's established practice of ethnic cleansing; neither will I be silent when Azerbaijan makes war upon thousand year old Armenian Cemeteries. It's one thing to cry over spilled milk, and quite another to cry about serial killers.
