What a fantastic event we had at the @ByLeavesWeLive yesterday - great place to visit. There’s one word to describe it: heartwarming. Thank you to everyone who came, who participated, who read poetry. Thank you for the idea @DrAlakbarov and for support @DiasporaAz@Fmuradov
SPL this afternoon is filled with lovely instrumental folk sounds of Azerbaijani music, with a very busy Azerbaijani poetry group meeting here. SPL staff have been given a wee treat of some very nice Azerbaijani cakes too. Mmm.
Thank you @ByLeavesWeLive! What a great venue! It was just perfect! And the music, the poetry and the selection of poetry made the evening incredibly special.

We urge @RimaAbdulMalak to refrain from provocative statements.
The cultural heritage of #Azerbaijan, regardless of its origin, whether secular or religious, reflects the cultural diversity of the people of #Azerbaijan, which we value and protect.

#BIG#neocolonialism
- Azerbaijan is deeply concerned with the ongoing #colonialism and its reemerging manifestations. Although 70 years have passed since the Bandung Conference, some countries continue to pursue colonialism. Among those, the foremost one is France.
- #France had occupied tens of countries in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific and Latin America, plundered their resources, and for many years oppressed their peoples while perpetrating numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- Throughout 30 years in the XX century, France had conducted nearly 200 nuclear tests in French Polynesia and 17 nuclear tests in Algeria.
- Nations such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mali, Djibouti, Nigeria, Chad, Senegal, Vietnam, Comoros Islands, Haiti, and others continue to grapple with the dire repercussions of French occupation.
- France ranks among the leading nations globally in terms of landmine use. Over 5 million mines were planted across Algeria alone.
- France, unable to abandon its colonialism history, disregards the aspirations and the rights of the peoples outside of France – overseas communities and territories of the Pacific and Atlantic and goes out of its way to undermine the realization of those aspirations.
- The social situation in French Guiana is gradually deteriorating; nearly half of the population is on the edge of poverty, and unemployment is rising yearly.
- Martinique and Guadeloupe face two significant disasters. The indigenous population is subjected to assimilation through clandestine and illicit resettlement.
- France refuses to recognize the sovereignty of the Union of Comoros over the Island of Mayotte.
- A referendum is held in New Caledonia without the participation of half its population, depriving them of their right to independence.
- France, which rejects the concept of ethnic minorities, is prohibiting the Corsican language. Pursuing the policy of hypocrisy and double standards, France is simultaneously attempting to position itself as a defender of national minorities in our region.
- We register widespread racism and Islamophobia across France, along with neocolonialism trends.
- We must deliver the neocolonialism issue to the international community's attention through all possible platforms. In that regard, the UN General Assembly Fourth Committee (Political and Decolonization) activity must be re-energized.
