FM Bayramov: Azerbaijan has now embarked on elimination of negative consequences of war

“With the end of almost 30 years-long armed conflict with Armenia, Azerbaijan has now embarked on elimination of its negative consequences. Enabling hundreds of thousands of IDPs to return to their homes in safety and dignity, and ensuring peaceful life in the post-conflict territories, are the absolute priority for the Government of Azerbaijan. The first group of families have recently returned to Aghali village in the liberated Zangilan district of Azerbaijan, which was rebuilt based on a “smart village” concept,” said Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov as he addressed the 29th meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council in Lodz, Poland.

 

“Azerbaijan is also resolute to re-integrate its citizens of Armenian origin residing in post-conflict territories into its political, social and economic space, guaranteeing the same rights and freedoms with all the citizens of Azerbaijan. The Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan provides the solid legal framework in this regard. Increased dialogue and contacts over past months between central Azerbaijani authorities and local ethnic Armenian residents need to be encouraged and sustained,” the minister noted.

Twitter suspends Kanye West’s account for violating rules

Twitter on Friday suspended American rapper Kanye West’s account again for violating the social media platform’s rules, according to Anadolu Agency.

 

“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Twitter owner Elon Musk said.

 

Before suspending West’s account, Twitter also restricted a tweet of him.

 

Meanwhile, West and right-wing social media company Parler agreed to halt the purchase of the company, a statement from Parlement Technologies said on Thursday.

 

The company said it “mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler.”

 

“Parler will continue to pursue future opportunities for growth and the evolution of the platform for our vibrant community,” the company added.

 

In October, the rapper who legally changed his name to Ye, agreed to purchase Parler, only days after Twitter and Instagram suspended his account due to his antisemitic statements on social media.

 

Ye has been widely criticized after he has made openly a series of antisemitic comments in recent weeks, including praising Hitler in his Thursday interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on a TV show.

 

“I love everyone. I am done with classifications. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler,” Ye said during the interview.

 

“I don’t like the word evil next to Nazis. I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.”
