COP29 concluded successfully, leaving its mark on the history of global climate action as the “BakuBreakthrough” with the establishment of a new financial target among other critical achievements. However, during the most critical and challenging moments of the negotiations, when the developing world and Global South was expecting concrete financial commitments from the Europe Union and at large from the West, it was unacceptable for Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock to level accusations against Azerbaijan as COP Presidency and other parties to the convention.
Regrettably, Mrs. Baerbock appears to have conflated Germany’s upcoming elections as such domestic politics with the extremely difficult multilateral diplomacy, likely attempting to use COP29 as a platform for her electoral campaign. She should have also considered that these difficult negotiations occurred in the absence of the German Chancellor and the European Commission president, at a time when Europe failed to demonstrate leadership, and the world was deeply polarized geopolitically. But we acknowledge professional contributions and cooperation of climate negotiation teams of Germany and European Union.
As the world witnessed Azerbaijan, as a host and chair of COP29 acted as an honest facilitator to deliver results.

How little has changed from 1919 - excerpt from "Azerbaijan" newspaper:
"From our Karabakh region we have 40,000 Muslim refugees. Thus far, they did not get any help from the mentioned [American] societies. But Armenian refugees received millions of dollars".
Article title: Muslim Refugees and American Aid.
The elderly couple, IDPs from Sheylanli village of Lachin district, who left their homes 32 years ago, could not hold back their tears when they saw their house burned and destroyed.
The village was occupied in 1992 by Armenian armed forces.
Russian-Armenian billionaire Ruben Vardanyan, a friend of Putin and former minister of state of the so-called 'Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’, made billions from money laundering, illegal arms and drug trafficking.
Vardanyan has been accused of crimes related to his involvement in Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.
He is now under arrest in Baku for more than 6 months.
In 2012, Armenian cartoonist David Sahakyants, his sister Nana Sahakyants and her husband Alexan Harutyunyan decided to make cartoon about the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict 1/
@CesareBarberis @AzerbaijaniCA @MaximeGauin@CesareBarberis: the first sentence in your bio says you are a student, the third says you are an expert. That is how conflicted you are. What you insultingly call “Aliyev regime” is what the Azerbaijani people wisely chose time after time. Who are you to disrespect our choice?
@richkauz Documentation and comparative rates with other countries?
Or are you just stereotyping them because they're Muslim and lumping them in with the Arabs?
Kamo - an ethnic Armenian resident of Garabagh explains in fluent Azerbaijani how he is being taken care of by Azerbaijani doctors, nurses & social workers 24/7. That’s the spirit of #Azerbaijan, treating all minorities with utmost respect & care. And that’s what we were offering to Garabagh Armenians - a peaceful life as citizens of Azerbaijan with all rights and security guarantees. Glad that Kamo decided to stay.
… calling an innocent child a “braindead sheep”.
The people w/ this mentality were the ones who mercilessly killed & froze to death our children in 1992 in #Khojali & by firing ballistic missiles at the sleeping city of #Ganja in 2020.
Ilham Aliyev is of course our savior.
I prefer our extraordinary leaders w/ immense services before our people.
Even if the National leader Heydar Aliyev was ateist during his Soviet era career, there is nothing wrong w/ that or reverting back to his native religion. People’s beliefs in deities change.
The true religion of Azerbaijan is not Islam, it’s Aliyevism, and that’s been clear for a couple of decades now. Ilham is their Lord and Savior. Heydar is the Father and the Holy Ghost - that’s why the largest mosque in Azerbaijan is named after him, an atheist KGB general.
It isn’t difficult to see why some - or most - Armenians & their supporters hate Ilham Aliyev so much: He is the wise choice of the people of Azerbaijan - simple as that.
@nmatini It’s none of your business who we choose to lead our State. Ilham Aliyev is our choice, we stand behind him & love him. He’s our savior. He ended Armenia’s killing of our children & bloody occupation of our lands. That’s why he’s your nightmare & for that we love him even more.

Interesting fact: #German MP Frank Schwabe, who initiated the move against Azerbaijan in PACE which resulted in the rejection of credentials of Azerbaijan's delegation, a few years ago was against the suspension of Russia.
@HemidTural@AghayarSamir Bu proseslərə bolşeviklərlə menşeviklər, və eləcə də daşnakların mübarizəsi kontekstində baxmaq lazımdır. Ancaq Gümrüdə rus ordusu hər zaman güclü şəkildə mövcud olub. Bu ordu fürsət düşən kimi İstanbulu ələ keçirmək üçün orada olub. Erməniləri ram etmək 1x1 kimi asan idi.
