The promoted mythical character “Armenian” and “Armenia” has existed in Azerbaijani society for 30 years.

Propaganda preaches that this “Armenian” character serves Russia, bribes politicians around the world and beheads Azerbaijani soldiers.

He also preaches that: “In “Armenia” there is no ethnic minority, there is no opposition, there is only a one-party system in the country called “Dashnaktsutyun”.

Over the past 30 years, the Aliyev government has turned Azerbaijan into a fabricated, mythical “Armenia.”

What is attributed to the mythical “Armenia” has become the narrative of the Aliyev regime.
Now there is a single party system in Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan serving for Russian interests, ethnic minorities are under pressure, and bribery in AzeGov has reached worldwide levels. Azerbaijani soldiers behave like maniacs. So, Aliyev turned Azerbaijan into a fabricated “Armenia”.

If someone talks about bribery in Azerbaijan, problems of national minorities, etc. and when someone criticized the situation, the answers are usually like this:

“Armenians also bribe world politicians”, “There are no national minorities left in Armenia either”, “Armenians beheads the same way”, “Armenians do this too, why don’t you tell them?” etc.

Aliyev legitimized his illegal actions with these myths. He preached to Azerbaijani society to be like "Armenians".

In fact, over the past 30 years, real Armenia and Armenians have made great progress in the democracy and human rights. But we have become an ugly, mythical character of our own making.

But I would like to start real competition with real Armenians, like: They have freedom, but we don’t.

Heartbreaking 💔. Those 8 and 10 year old boys were terrorists, according to the Azerbaijani regime.

[Robert Ananyan @robananyan]

Fighting continued with varying intensity along the contact line. The units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, accompanied by fire from various weapons, continued the positional advancement operations, targeting civilian infrastructures as well. The Defense Forces are resisting.
