Re: Azerbaijan - Internal Political Affairs
Of course, we can laugh loudly at Azerbaijan's silly little endeavors, but it's really quite disturbing when you think about it. How are Armenians supposed to live alongside and, if the Azerbaijanis get their way, within a country that accuses them of something as ridiculous as gastronomical plagiarism? And it's not like it's some informal organization -- the article says that such campaigns have government backing. Say what you will about the Turks, but despite their claimsmanship over these dishes (endemic to most countries in the region, I'd say), I've never encountered a person from Turkey making such absurd accusations, especially at the state level.
