Political Outrage is on my mind - 907, again?
Dear Candidates Vice President Biden and Senator Harris, Oct 29 2020
If I were a one issue voter—which I am not—your recent denunciation of Azerbaijan in the renewed war with Armenia over the territory of ‘Nagorno’ Karabakh on Biden/Harris stationary, including the threat to re-impose the notorious ‘Article 907 of the 1992 Freedom Support Act, was almost enough to make me try and retract my vote for both of you and ask for any and all donations to your campaign to be returned.
This is outrageous ethnic milking, and you should be ashamed of yourselves—as should the gullible staffers who inked up your ‘principled’ statement to suck up a few more mono-ethnic voters among the Armenian community, presumably in Michigan.
I could go into specific details about the Karabakh conflict, and even be more specific about the outrage of ‘Article 907’ (and your threat to re-impose it should you be elected), but will end this missive now.
Google me if you want, but it changes nothing
I have cast my ballot - for you - and there is no taking it back.
But could I do so, I would now vote Libertarian, Green, ‘Socialist,’ Communist (certainly not Trump) or anyone else but you due to your sell-out to immediate-ethno-interests.
Shame on you.
And shame on me for believing your Democratic Party might be different.

I have always put the names of agencies, institutions, and enterprises in quotation marks, but I never did so for Turan. Whenever I saw Turan in quotation marks in texts, I removed them.

The preliminary report into the late December crash of an Azerbaijani passenger jet in Kazakhstan is a masterwork in delicate diplomacy, breaking no new ground in assigning responsibility for the tragedy, yet appearing to confirm that the plane was accidentally shot down by Russian air defenses without explicitly saying so. As such, the Kazakh-produced report has avoided, at least initially, provoking the ire of either Russia or Azerbaijan.

While sorting through the archives on the eve of the 20th of January, I came across a folder with photos given to me by my late colleague Farhad Kerimov.

On January 7, during a press conference between President I. Aliyev and local TV channels, a representative of Real TV asked: “Do you see Trump in the same boat with us...?”
