Century long Genocide. Black January in Baku

I will not write anything from myself. Just watch this video. I survived at that time, but how many could not?

Concept

This documentary film was created within in the project “Ordinary Genocide” and is dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the pogroms of Armenians in the capital of Azerbaijan. The film was based on interviews with refugees from Baku, which were conducted by the project team in the US. The main conceptual idea of the film is the inseparable connection of the events of the early 20th century in the Ottoman Turkey with what happened to the Armenians in Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh. The stories of the refugees also reveal the previously unknown details of the pogroms of Armenians in Baku.

The Two Faces of Azerbaijan’s Mr. Aliyev

President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan does a masterful political Jekyll and Hyde. A cable from the American ambassador to Baku released on WikiLeaks described him as a Michael Corleone-Sonny Corleone figure — referring, respectively, to the coolly calculating and the impetuously violent brothers of the “Godfather” mafia family. Mr. Aliyev is “pro-Western” in many of the ways the West admires: He is suave, well dressed and well spoken in English; he is ready to send his country’s ample supplies of oil and gas to Europe and to Israel; his Islam is moderate and modern; and he hosts lavish international events like the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 and the European Games to be held next June.

Blog is available for everyone!

And finally my blog is available for everyone! I do not need to hide myself anymore and live like in shell, fencing myself off the world. I won’t like to people near me about my true nationality. Yes, I was living in Baku for about half of my life, but almost no one new about my Armenian ethnicity. I do not give a crap about that few amount of friends who will abandon me as soon as they realise that I am Armenian. I breathe freely, I write freely and this is the most important for me!
