Hello All,

I plan on journeying to Sheki next month and I am wondering what wildlife can be found there and what trails to hike on to find these. I have seen a video of a bear walking around the street in sheki and would like to hopefully view bear from a safe distance. I also believe there is caucasian tur in Azerbaijan which would be interesting to see. Im sure there are a plethora of animals in Azerbaijan. TLDR: where to go in Sheki to find wildlife, what trails to take

Sorry if you consider this as advertising, but as I know people here are interested in what is happening in the gaming industry in Azerbaijan.

The event features three zones: the gaming festival, the gaming conference, and the show. Representatives of Epic Games (the creators of Fortnite), Xsolla, Microsoft will speak at the conference, and there will also be a large exhibition of foreign and Azerbaijani games, there will be more than 100 different games on all kinds of platforms. The eSports segment will host championships in games like League of Legends, Dota 2, Tekken 8, Mortal Kombat 11, FIFA 23, Valorant, CS2 and even local games. Cosplay, K-Pop and Music show are also important part of this festival.

On June 1-2, 2024, the GameSummit Summer 2024 will take place at the Baku Crystal Hall, with a John Newman concert opening on May 31st.

Why our folks only appreciate rubbish comedies that even don’t have a laughable jokes?

Why do our folks love to sneak up on someone's personal life?

Hey guys, I’m planning a trip from UAE to Azerbaijan as the country offers visa on arrival for uae residents. I looked up air tickets to Baku for 450 AED Round trip (208AZN) and some hotel rooms for 5 days for about 605 ARD (280AZN).

Since, I’m not with a tour guide could someone tell me if the prices for hotels seems fair, also what would the taxi costs be, and drop contacts for any tour guides that could help me getting around places since I’m travelling with family.

Thanks in advance 😊

Hello everybody. I am an American Jew that is looking to make aliyah (emigrate to Israel) when able. Things have gotten pretty bad in the USA with the hatred, antisemitism, and people watching a Tik Tok video and thinking afterwords that they have the enlightened, moral opinion on everything regarding the conflict in Israel. Life is usually not that simple but that's how people act in America - you're not allowed to not have an opinion on things, you "have to" take a side with everything because it's how most people form their senses of self here.

In the spirit of humility I have gained from this whole ordeal and realizing how ridiculous this approach is to geopolitics, what's the best way I can learn about Azerbaijan, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and Azerbaijan-Jewish/Israeli Relations? I am more than happy to put my own effort in to educating myself so I can function as a better person, which is important because I know Azerbaijan has an important alliance with Israel.

Anyone is free to give their opinions on all of these things and I'm here to read and listen (which means I might not respond to everything if I feel I don't have enough information), but I realize this is a big ask - I am extremely sensitive right now talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so I am empathetic that other people might not want to and that's fine. All responses/opinions/feelings are appreciated though.

Thank you for reading.

I am planning a 5-6 day trip in Baku from India. Am looking for places to visit. Please help out. Thanks.

While being sort of biased, I have to say that I do not mean to offend anyone.

So, I have been listening to playlist on spotify to know what other national anthems sounds like, and, dude, they, almost, all sound similar as if they came out of certain few people’s hands. To me, obviously, Azerbaijani and a very few others from the same region sound distinctive.

Why do you think that is? Due to Political and/or Western Classical music influences?

Hello!

Is there anyone here who withdraws money from Payoneer to a local bank account? What bank do you use and what are the fees for transfers?

My husband and I are planning a quick trip to Azerbaijan in June. Out of 5 nights, we are planning to spend 3 in Baku (explore Baku, make day trips to Qobustan and the Shamakhi wine tour) and for the other two nights we were wondering if we should go out to Ganja and Sheki. Maybe explore Ganja, stay overnight, explore Sheki and come back? We like history, culture, food and drink, talking to people...please share ideas and recommendations!

Also, what's the weather like, does it rain much out there? Will light jackets and cottons work well?

If anyone, locals and other travellers, would like to meet up while we are there, please get in touch.

Much obliged :)

I'm currently reading about the conflict for a school presentation. I dont know where I should start though, because there are so many aspects. Maybe someone could highlight the most important events of the conflict.
I also need to know what the impact of the Sovjet Union and other countries was that participated in the conflict like Turkiye, USA, the EU and maybe Iran. (but most importantly the Sovjet Union).
How was Azeris and Armenians relationship in Nagorno-Karabakh before the Russian Empire colonized Karabakh?
In the end it would be nice to also add, what Azerbaijan current relationship with Russians, Armenians and Turks is.
I would appreciate every answer <3

What are southern Azerbaijanis values like? Do they have different values than northen Azerbaijanis? And what are their thoughts about religion?

I am not hating on tourists or anything, genuine question. I was at the boulvard the other day and it genuinly was only indians (tbf this was like 2 pm). I know there are a lot of Indian students in Azerbaijan so maybe it just their families visiting?
