Sad to see that tourist from Hungary can climb the tower of the mosque, but native Azerbaijanis of Aghdam cannot even visit their ancestoral graves

@fretfrek jerk, which world?? did u see any foreign maps, where nkr mentioned as armenia ? this is your dream not mine..moreover, if it is not occupied territories why armenia doesn't recognize NKR? why? coz they afraid of being occupants.Furthermore, AGHDAM is not part of Nagorno Karbakh, it is part of the 7 regions which are under occupations.that's fuck yourself and your nose.

But let's drop this anyways. The fact is that anyone with an Armenian name cannot go to Azerbaijan, point. But Azeris can visit Armenia, and even NKR. This was my claim originally and it still stands.

The state-sponsored anti-Armenian racism of Azerbaijan cannot be compared even to the Dashnaks of today, who are not a ruling party, and who really are only a caricature of what they were in early 20th century.

[urchalka2000]

There were no 200K Azeri refugees before Sumgait pogrom. Maybe not even 1k. At most a small group of them from Kapan and nearby places in Zangezur came. I doubt there were even 100K, much less 200K in Zangezur. A few 10s thousands at most and not all forced to leave before Sumgain pogrom.

[urchalka2000]

This number just keeps getting bigger. Most historians put Azeri victims of March masacres between 5 and 10 thousand, which is still a huge number. And note that then the same year in September, Azeris killed between 10 and 20 thousand Armenians in Baku.

[urchalka2000]

The end of in 1988, is already something AFTER Sumgait and Kirovabad pogroms. And I can hardly imagine a comfortable life in Baku when you know that an anti-Armenian pogrom happened in Sumgait in 1988, mostly unpunished and multiple pogroms were going on in Kiravabad. By the end of 1988, about 100,000 Armenian residents of Kirovabad were gone. Most of Baku Armenians were packing their bags and leaving immediately after Sumgait, until the remainders were finished off in 1990.

Dasnaks is ulta nationalist party that may only get 10% of fake votes in Armenia, is responsible for Azerbaijani genocide. they were the instrument of execution in hands of Bolsheviks at the begining of last century. In Baku alone they slaughtered 20K Azeris.

[agilm]

almost all azeris were forced out of Armenia by the end of 88. While Armenians lived comfortably in Baku until 1990. So if you are blind to 1-2 year lag between events in Armenia nad Azerbaijan. go read up on archives.
