A few days ago, @globeandmail published an opinion piece by @NeilPHauer, a Canadian living in Armenia who harbours a clear hatred for Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis.
Today, the Globe published my brief response addressing his slanderous claims.

TORONTO: An incredibly memorable evening, marking the 32nd Anniversary of the Khojaly Massacre, together with our Azerbaijani Canadian community, dignitaries & friends.
Thank you, Anar Usubov and @SamiraBekirli for sharing your poignant stories of surviving the Khojaly massacre as children. Together we ensure that the memories of the innocent victims live forever. #JusticeforKhojaly
1988: Haunting footage captures the plight of Azerbaijani refugees forced from their homes in #Armenia. The World was deaf to their cries and pleas. UNHCR estimated at least 200,000 Azerbaijanis were forced out from their homes in Armenia in an act of ethnic cleansing.

“We shouldn’t be bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be, they can’t.
A man is a man, a woman is a woman that’s just common sense.”
Thoughts?
Things which took place in Azerbaijan’s Garabagh Region over past 48 hours proved once again that no matter who or what is trying to suppress JUSTICE it finds it way to prevail.
Justice just prevailed for ~1 mln of Azerbaijanis who were displaced from the places where them and their ancestors lived over centuries, for thousands of Azerbaijanis killed over the years of aggression from people who they showed best traits of coexistence throughout history, for all historic Azerbaijani lands which suffered massive destruction, for Azerbaijani nation which was devastated by aggression and occupation which was ignored or mistreated by most of international community influenced by just a “lobby” group.
Justice always prevails for NOT those who have louder voices spitting out blunt lies but for those who have TRUTH behind them. Azerbaijan has truth behind it so all those who prefer to follow loud voices instead can now learn from this and hopefully change their approach.
And lack of education is not the excuse for making these mistakes.
Now it’s time to concentrate on long standing peace in the region and between people.

Quick reminder: After putin invaded Ukraine the Karabakh Armenians applauded him.
After putin exterminated the people of Mariupol the Karabakh Armenians praised him.
And in the middle of the war against Ukraine they had funds and time for this.
Could you imagine a US Sec. of State @SecBlinken calling up #Ukraine and asking Kiev not to conduct military operations against terrorists operating from Crimea or Donetsk? The US upholds the principle of territorial integrity, except in the case of #Azerbaijan.
For journalists: Karabakh is NOT a "disputed territory". EVERY nation on earth, including Armenia (!), recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan.
Again: EVERY nation on this planet says Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. It is therefore NOT a disputed territory.
American media and think tanks:
✔️Ukraine fights to expel Russian troops from its territory= Slava Ukraini
✔️Georgia fights to expel Russian troops from its territory= Go Georgia
✔️Azerbaijan fights to expel 10k of Armenia's (Russia's ally) troops from its territory that are placing mines on Azerbaijan's roads= need to stop Azerbaijan
BREAKING: an 8th mass grave has been discovered in Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region, which was invaded & occupied by Armenia from 1992 until 2020.
Video 1: Journalist Orkhan Amashov reports on the finding of the mass grave in Shusha. Remains of 17 people have been discovered at the site of the Shusha prison, where Armenian forces kept Azerbaijani prisoners during the occupation.
Video 2: Zabil was taken prisoner as a child, shortly after the Armenian forces shot his grandmother in front of him in 1993. Three decades later, Zabil recounts the horrors of being tortured in the Shusha prison as a child.
None of the perpetrators have ever been held accountable.
False accusations presented by witness of 🇦🇲 descent at FAAE meeting #69 & supported by member of committee followed by statements like “Mickey Mouse 🇦🇿Environmentalists” are baseless, one sided & utterly unacceptable by vast Azerbaijani-Canadian community present in Canada.
Transport communication between #Azerbaijan & #Armenia is restored for the first time after 33 years. Today in Moscow, the parties reached a general agreement on the restoration of the #railway connection on the Arazdeyan-Julfa-Ordubad-Mehri-Horadiz route. May it bring lasting #peace to the Caucasus.
Interesting and educating article by Ms. Fariza Ahmadova in UN Today magazine on Chovqan, the Azerbaijani game, claimed to be the predecessor of modern polo, and played on a flat grassy field by two competing teams on Karabakh horses. of https://t.co/vCJ0K85Ywc
Armenia's military provocations against #Azerbaijan, not only violates the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan, but also seriously threaten regional peace and security.
These actions of Armenia should be rejected and condemned.

Today’s deadly aggression by Armenia against #Azerbaijan’s sovereign territory is not a coincidence. It happens against the backdrop of recently increased hopes for peace. Armenia & its allies are not interested in peace!
According to the information provided by the @wwwmodgovaz on April 11, the 🇦🇲 #Armenia|n armed forces units from the positions in the direction of the Digh settlement of the Gorus region using small arms subjected to intensive fire the 🇦🇿 #Azerbaijan Army's opposing positions stationed in the direction of the #Lachin region. As a result of the provocation committed by the opposing side, the 🇦🇿 servicemen became Shehids and were wounded.

#Aghdam - completely destroyed and looted by 🇦🇲 #Armenia . After the liberation of the occupied territories, 🇦🇿 #Azerbaijan immediately started large-scale reconstruction works in the #Karabakh and #EastZangezur regions of Azerbaijan. Karabakh will become a modern and the most developed part of our region.
