First of allow me to say this: it seems like you have missed the point where I went from supporting motion that it is despicable that he isn't allowed to come, to complete neutral after realizing that he is allowed, and now leaning towards conclusion that this just political show off and personal tantrum after learning further details. I hope I won't wright an essay, but i will try to do my best to make my clear point why i think so.
@quikzy You often assume a lot about others on this forum, but don't assume what I know, who I know and what I have lived. You will be very surprised, mate;)
A case which symbolizes the ubiquity of Armenophobia in Azerbaijan is the murder of Gurgen Margaryan. Back in 2004
You have brought the case of 2004 that has nothing to do with current issue other than being individual murder based on long standing hatred and insanity. We can't keep holding on to past as an excuse to demonize entire nation and especially make your case by highlighting one death ( this is bigotry). Are you a bigot quikzy? I don't think so.
It was an individual murder case incident, which will take another thread to discuss, but nonetheless despicably to some he is a murderer and to Azeri government he is a hero. History knows many people who were murders to one group of nation and heroes to others. ( This will take a lot of time to go over)
Therefore, a man ( maybe crazy or maybe sane) killing in unsecured event his long standing enemy, shouldn't be a shock. Event organizers should have foreseen that when they decided to put " **trained killers" with long history of hatred under the same hotel roof, it may turn into a conflict of some sort at least. I don't think Mkhi is going to sleep with trained soldiers in the same hotel.**
Again, European organizers dropped the ball there :) LOL It is like people in Europe don't understand anything outside of their bubble world.
As far as the Karabakh conflict - I agree, any conflict should be studied more thoroughly and perhaps, one day I will do it, but you are painting a complete different picture as if the Azeris were the evils from the beginning. It shows that you are far from being objective on this topic, and perhaps even ignorant. It also seem you have your own personal agenda coming from emotional outburst rather than cynical and cold neutral analysis of the conflict from different perspectives. There are many facts available that will show that conflict should never have been, could have been avoided and it dates back almost 100 years.
You are right, hatred runs way too deep between these nations and there are very good reasons for it but it is very equal on both sides. I personally witnessed it, because I have friends from both sides and they never speak in good light about others. They find it hard to reconcile due to unresolved Karabakh issue and past grievances. As longest that territory remains disputed and Azeri people won't be allowed to comeback to their lands ( yes about a million ethnic cleansed ones) , there will never be peace between them and both them are always ready to kill each other. They could turn this into Kosovo and both will be unhappy but unhappy resolution for both conflicting sides at times is the most just.
**Therefore, there are many cases that symbolize the ubiquity of Armenian hate towards Azeri people and it isn't based on one individual murder case. You need to stop with this genocidal victimization when both nations are ready to do that to each other and to be practical ( factual too) ethnic cleansing was done by Armenians in Karabakh region which in response Azeris throughout all the Armenian people in Baku but not nearly with same violence ( videos online are available if you don't believe it) ***
**Now, let me tell you why you are making a huge deal of this and act as if he will be massacred there. The topic of Karabakh is big, and I don't think it will add anything to keep this discussion on point. We all agree these nations hate each other and spilled blood of each other for the last decades and even decades ago before then.
Ridiculous news
Never mix football with politics. Why are we even seeing a final at Azerbaijan. There's a real need to boycott this joke of a place for a final.

Never mix football with politics. Why are we even seeing a final at this nation (no offence Azerbaijanians but no one realises you as a footballing nation).
