1- I recently recieve some messages saying I am not patriotic enough since I lack hatred against Armenians. Sorry to upset those, but what Azerbaijan means to me is more than the dictatorship regime hiding behind this flag and a nation brainwashed by his 30-year-long propaganda.
2- Azerbaijan is the current name of this part of the world and the name Azerbaijani indeed represents all people living on this land regardless of their ethnicity including Armenians. I also understand Armenians reject this name for rightful reasons today
3- but undermining the idea of Azerbaijan by adopting ethno-nationalism of turks which may be majority of the country, is discriminatory not only against Armenians, but also other ethnic minorities living in Azerbaijann who also consider themselves Azerbaijani.
4- So in any case I am against the idea of expelling people from their motherland just because they reject the idea of

Note: Yes, I am ethnically turk but I refuse to take this "privilege" of being turk in . I don't necessarily have to be of ethnic minorities to defend their rights. After all, I consider what is right or wrong, NOT what is in my favor or not.

I really appreciate those who supported and most importantly RESPECTED my viewpoint. Still I am quite upset about those Azeris/Armenians starting a new war in the comments with no respect. I hate blocking people but some people really leave me no chance.
