Respect for Azerbaijan's decisiveness and clarity
"The topic of Nagorno-Karabakh has once again clearly declared itself to the whole world, and this is not surprising, given how long the occupation of Azerbaijani lands lasts.
We, bystanders, read or hear about it and forget again, while this is the everyday reality of an entire nation. A new round of events, regardless of what was its trigger, led to the restoration of Azerbaijan's control over a number of its (!) territories, as declared in international documents - resolutions of the largest international organization, which declares that it is guarding peace and order in all over the world.
However, the question arises. If we pay attention to the reaction of the world community, then it clearly traces the standard call for non-violence and a peaceful solution to the conflict. At the same time, countries that know firsthand what occupation is, are well aware and feel the futility of all efforts for a "peaceful settlement", including on the part of states that have recognized their territorial integrity and their ownership of their own land, which was under control of external forces. The decisiveness and clarity of Azerbaijan's steps arouses respect and should become an example for other "illegally robbed" states, including Ukraine.
Unfortunately, the bitterest consequences of the struggle against the occupation are human losses, especially the death of civilians. Their lot is with the Almighty. We can only hope for the restoration of justice and for real support by the world community of the Azerbaijani people and their just cause. "

My brother Jahangir Hajiyev has been in prison for eight and a half years, having a bouquet of severe chronic diseases. For eight years we have been trying to get the penitentiary service to provide him with minimal medical care and medical supervision. During these years he has repeatedly had exacerbations of his heart, blood pressure, hypertensive crises, exacerbations of his hormonal and immune systems, and pancreatic attacks. One time he was even called for an ambulance. Despite our repeated appeals, he is denied transfer to the central medical centre and the sanitary unit in the colony itself.

Azerbaijan has spent much of the past half-year thumbing its nose at the United States and European Union over Western criticism of Baku’s authoritarian political practices. But it appears the West has at least one weapon in its arsenal capable of getting Azerbaijani leaders’ attention.

Aliyev dwelled on the expanding North-South trade route – in which Azerbaijan serves as a hub for commerce connecting India, Iran and Russia – saying it had “global significance for cargo transportation and security.”

In honor of the holy month of Ramadan, I appeal to you with a plea for help and justice. Nine years have passed since the actions of our enemies plunged our family into darkness, depriving us of happiness and peace. Today they are trying to deprive our brother and me of our last home. This egregious act not only violates the laws of our country, but also ignores the fundamental right to housing, a principle that is supported throughout the world. It is important to note that the property in question was acquired in the 1990s, long before my brother Jahangir Hajiyev took up his position at the International Bank of Azerbaijan.
