🇦🇿The mentioned constitutional changes officially entered into force today⬇️

[ORIENT 360 @Orient_360]

🧵1/ The status of #Nakhchivan will now be defined solely by the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan. This is a result of recent constitutional amendments in Nakhchivan that aim to further weaken its autonomy.

6/ These developments are closely tied to President Ilham Aliyev’s broader goal of consolidating power nationwide and eliminating semi-independent structures that once held sway in regions like Nakhchivan.

5/ Nakhchivan’s autonomy has been steadily dismantled since Vasif Talibov’s December 2022 resignation. His relatives and allies have been removed, local institutions placed under Baku’s control, and the Supreme Assembly Chair’s powers significantly curtailed.

💭The PKK’s dissolution is framed as a step toward Turkish-Kurdish reconciliation. But in Turkish-controlled northern Syria, human rights abuses persist - exposing the gap between peace narratives and harsh realities.

7/ Moreover, travel bans have recently been imposed on individuals with opposing political views, suggesting that the authorities are using border closures and travel bans to stifle political dissent and prevent foreign influences that could challenge the current regime’s power.

[ORIENT 360 @Orient_360]

1/ In March this year, #Azerbaijan marked 5 years since it closed all its land borders, initially citing #COVID19 as the primary justification, then shifting to “security reasons”. This measure has had significant effects on communication and trade.🧵

[ORIENT 360 @Orient_360]

6/ AZAL, Azerbaijan’s state-run airline linked to the ruling Aliyev family, gained a near-monopoly when land borders closed. Foreign airlines face high taxes, leaving AZAL to set prices freely. In 2022, it reportedly made its first-ever net profit.
