We offer our heartfelt prayers for God's mercy to embrace our brave policemen who lost their lives, one due to a terrorist act perpetrated by Armenians in Khojavand, and the other in a tragic road accident in Fuzuli district

We offer our heartfelt prayers for God's mercy to embrace our brave policemen who lost their lives, one due to a terrorist act perpetrated by Armenians in Khojavand, and the other in a tragic road accident in Fuzuli district
On September 19, 2023, a vehicle transporting personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of the Republic of Azerbaijan was en route to the scene of a terrorist incident that tragically claimed the lives of State Agency of Azerbaijan Automobile Roads employees. This incident occurred on the 58th kilometer of the Ahmedbeyli-Fuzuli-Shusha road, which passes through the Khojavend region on that fateful day. Tragically, in the early hours of that day at approximately 04:30 a.m., in the Tagaverd village of Khojavend district along the newly constructed tunnel road, these MIA personnel lost their lives in a horrifying terrorist attack. This attack was executed by means of an explosive device, a mine, cunningly placed by illegal Armenian armed groups operating within the vicinity of a temporary peacekeeping zone.
May their souls rest in peace, and may their families find solace during this difficult time.

Today Marks National Music Day in Azerbaijan

Today Marks National Music Day in Azerbaijan
Today, Azerbaijan celebrates National Music Day on September 18th, marking the birthday of the renowned Uzeyir Bey Hajibeyov, a luminary in our musical culture. This day is a cherished occasion for both music enthusiasts and our entire nation, as Uzeyir Bey's immortal art holds a special place in every Azerbaijani's heart. The tradition of honoring the great composer's birthday as a holiday was established by the maestro Niyazi, who continued to celebrate it annually even after Uzeyir Bey's passing.
In 1995, President Heydar Aliyev decreed that September 18th should be celebrated as National Music Day, aligning with the 110th anniversary of the composer's birth. Uzeyir Hajibeyov made groundbreaking contributions to the world of music, including pioneering the art of opera in Azerbaijan and the broader Muslim East with "Leyli and Majnun" in 1908. He also introduced the musical comedy genre, with works like "Husband and Wife," "O Olmasin, Bu Olsun," and "Arshin Mal Alan," which vividly depicted Azerbaijani life and traditions of his time...

IDPs from Khojaly, Khankendi, Khojavand and other districts of Karabakh make appeal to international community

Internally displaced persons from Khojaly, Khankendi, Khojavand and other districts of the Karabakh region currently under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers have made an appeal to the international community. "We – the internally displaced persons from Khojaly, Khankendi, Khojavand and other districts of the Karabakh region currently under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers – declare to the international community that although the Karabakh conflict ended three years ago, in 2020, we are still unable to return to our cities, districts, villages, homes and native lands. Armenia is circulating false propaganda that only Armenians allegedly lived in those regions. They are even denying the fact it was Azerbaijanis who had historically lived there. This is a bogus claim! We are the true native residents of Khojaly, Khankendi, Karkijahan, Malibayli, Gushchular, Meshali, Garadaghli! As a result of Armenia's policy of aggression against Azerbaijan, we experienced tremendous tragedies, acts of genocide and mass killings...

"The National Interest" Magazine Discusses Armenia's Efforts to Generate an Artificial Crisis Surrounding the Lachin Road

"The National Interest" Magazine Discusses Armenia's Efforts to Generate an Artificial Crisis Surrounding the Lachin Road
An article written by Fuad Chiragov, the deputy director of the South Caucasus Research Center, was recently published in the esteemed US magazine "The National Interest." The article discusses Armenia's orchestrated international crisis centered around the Lachin road. Chiragov highlights how this manufactured crisis has had a detrimental impact on the previously fragile hopes of the negotiation process.
The author emphasizes that Armenia has strategically leveraged this crisis, taking it to the level of a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting. Notably, some countries at the UNSC meeting stressed the importance of refraining from exploiting humanitarian issues for political gain.
Armenia's campaign aims to exert psychological and moral pressure on Azerbaijan, international public opinion, and UNSC member countries. It seeks to shape the narrative that "Armenians of Karabakh cannot coexist within Azerbaijan." This underscores Armenia's insincerity in previous negotiations, particularly its commitment to achieving the secession of Karabakh Armenians from Azerbaijan following Armenia's 2021 parliamentary elections...

Community: The United States' Disregard for Our Cause Contradicts Its Commitment to Human Rights

Community: The United States' Disregard for Our Cause Contradicts Its Commitment to Human Rights
The indifference displayed by the United States of America (US) towards our cause starkly contradicts its professed dedication to human rights. This sentiment was expressed in the statement issued by the West Azerbaijan Community.
"We have taken note of the statement made by the United States (US) Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, on September 10, 2023. In his address, he stressed the importance of any peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan safeguarding the rights and security of Karabakh's Azerbaijani residents. He also called for a dialogue between Baku and the Karabakh residents.
Regrettably, Secretary of State Blinken's statement failed to address the issue of Azerbaijanis forcibly expelled from Armenia. It is a well-documented fact that Armenia forcibly displaced all Azerbaijanis from its territory and continues to deny them the right to return to their homes. Armenia has not shown any willingness to engage in dialogue with the West Azerbaijan Community regarding this matter...
