Thank you @WSJ for publishing my Letter to Editor responding to Simon Maghakyan's misleading piece, which whitewashed #Armenia's destruction of #Azerbaijan's cultural heritage in the occupied territories, https://t.co/LDvtk5OB1i
A Baku per rafforzare una partnership strategica che per l’Italia ha un valore concreto e di lungo periodo.
Con l’Azerbaigian vogliamo consolidare una cooperazione già molto importante su energia, sicurezza, connettività, investimenti e dialogo politico, trasformandola sempre di più in opportunità concrete per le nostre Nazioni.
In un tempo complesso come quello che stiamo attraversando, è fondamentale tenersi strette le certezze. E la relazione tra Italia e Azerbaigian è una di queste.
One special note about Aghdam. Before the first Karabakh war this was one of the most important cities in southwestern Azerbaijan. It served as hub of economic, transportation and cultural activity. The occupying Armenians left nothing—and I mean nothing—but stones and rubble. The population totally displaced and replaced with landmines and destruction. Nevertheless, today the rebuilding and resettling progress has very been impressive! Kudos to the local officials and administrators doing an amazing job!
Tofig Aliyev from Azerbaijan did the world’s first full “full at the World Games in China.
A full-full-full is a triple backflip with a 360° twist in each somersault.

I see a lot of people finally learning about the importance of Azerbaijan as a key transit country.
@enifti and I coined the term Ganja Gap back in 2018 in a @ForeignPolicy article.
A quick glance at a map shows why👇🏻
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry has said several drones fired from Iran have hit its territory, one striking a terminal building in Nakhchivan International Airport and another landing near a school building in the village of Shakarabad.
Al Jazeera's Dmitry Medvedenko reports.
“….charges like terrorism financing, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and illegal border crossing.” Vardaryan was a late instrumentality of Armenia’s military occupation of Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region
Ruben Vardanyan, a founder of one of Moscow’s first investment banks, was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a court in Azerbaijan https://t.co/C2HJbIfmP5
"The Trump-brokered peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia is reshaping the South Caucasus and advancing U.S. strategic interests, despite lingering opposition in Congress rooted in 1990s-era constituency politics," writes @levantreporter in The Washington Times.
"Section 907 was adopted in 1992 as Armenian forces, backed by Russia, launched a military campaign that would eventually occupy nearly 20% of Azerbaijani territory, displacing almost 1 million Azerbaijanis.
The 1992 Khojaly massacre, in which Armenian forces killed hundreds of fleeing civilians, remains seared in Azerbaijani memory. Yet Section 907 punished Azerbaijan, not Armenia."
Mr. @HikmetHajiyev [Azerbaijan President FP Assistant] sees continued restrictions as working against peace. “Both governments, Azerbaijan and Armenia, are making an uphill struggle of strengthening the peace,” he said. “But some in Congress are introducing completely unnecessary and divisive legislative acts.”
Regional analysts have noted a growing divergence between diaspora groups and both governments. The leading Armenian-American lobby group focuses much of its current activity against Armenia’s government.

Azerbaijan and Armenia, rivals since the collapse of the USSR, signed a peace agreement backed by President Trump in the Oval Office this summer. https://t.co/Pd1E5NsK9W
We had a very constructive discussion with @presidentaz today.
We congratulated Azerbaijan on the recent historic breakthrough achieved with Armenia in Washington with the support of @POTUS Trump.
It's a major step toward lasting peace in the region.
We value Azerbaijan as an important partner and we are committed to strengthening our ties.
We will continue to invest in regional connectivity - in transport, energy, and digital - through our Global Gateway strategy.
