Unmodest Proposal
or Comb For a Beard
It is a miserable sight to those who read about this beautiful ancient country of Azerbaijan to be subjected to an appalling and uninvited sight in the cyber postings of the youth over Facebook and Twitter that rave about the arrested youth, fraudulent elections or biased national media.
Instead of focusing on important subjects, these so called cyber activists are forced to employ all there time to rant about ridiculous themes like freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press or freedom to practice one’s religion.
Let’s face it, who really needs these alleged fundamental rights? Will they provide food for the hungry or shelter for the poor? (more…)
Azerbaijan’s Facebook Dissident
Elnur Majidli a Strasbourg-based blogger and internet activist has been threatened with a 12 year jail sentence for ‘inciting hatred’. Index on Censorship’s Mike Harris interviewed Elnur at the Council of Europe as part of Index and the International Partnership Group for Azerbaijan’s lobbying efforts
Sitting in a coffee shop at the Council of Europe, Elnur Majidli proudly shows off on his netbook the Facebook groups that started the rare public protests in Azerbaijan on 11 March — “the Great People’s Day” — and are now being used to organise further protests.

Guy Berger, 30 November 2001

Vrai ou Faux?…
Ou la lettre d’un arménien…
D’abord je veux indiquer une chose:
Après la publication deux articles à propos du génocide arménien, j’ai reçu plusieurs commentaires des arméniens.
A cause de plusieurs mots vulgaires je n’ai pas publié ces commentaires…
Aujourd’hui, j’ai aussi reçu un message d’un arménien sur facebook à propos du dernier article que j’ai publié sur mon blog.

But They Did Not Give Up…
