The Azerbaijani military appeals to Ukraine to express a desire to fight against Russia.
Then the Azerbaijani says that there are many like him who are ready to help friendly Ukraine.
There is a demonstration with anti-Russian slogans near the Ukrainian embassy. The demonstrators call Russia an occupier and aggressor, and the Azerbaijani police, which usually react quite harshly to any protest, this time show a strange tolerance. And all this in case when a few days ago the Russian leader was signing a declaration on allied interaction with the Russian President.
According to the Azerbaijani issues expert, this is an indication that the deepening of Russian-Azerbaijani relations is only on paper.
Hayrik Sukiasyan (expert on Azerbaijani issues) - Considering that the demonstrations in Azerbaijan are being neutralized quickly, whereas they are not doing anything here – the protesters chanted strict anti-Russian slogans, such as "Let Russia disappear, long live Ukraine, long live Azerbaijan," and they became popular in Ukraine, too.
During the 44-day war, Azerbaijan, which bombed civilian settlements and used banned weapons, is trying to use the situation to create a false image of a humanist. The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) has started providing free fuel to Ukrainian ambulances and emergency vehicles.
Official Baku announced that it will send 5 million Euros in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Hayrik Sukiasyan - Experts also draw attention to the fact that anti-Russian sentiments prevail in the media field. If in the first days of the military operation the Azerbaijani media had a relatively balanced position, reporting officially from Moscow and Kyiv, then in recent days the news is flooded with obviously anti-Russian, one-sided information.
According to experts, the spread of anti-Russian sentiments in Azerbaijan is not new, it has a history of years, and it is due to the Russian peacekeeping mission in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) after the war.
