Javid Ahmedov, an Azerbaijani journalism student enrolled in Tbilisi, was denied entry to Georgia in what appears to be part of a broader pattern of border refusals affecting journalists, activists, and human rights defenders. civil.ge/archives/699648

I’ve been permanently banned from entering Georgia for my journalistic work. At the airport, I was fined 10,000 GEL and denied entry. This threatens my ability to finish my master’s degree. Press freedom and education should not come at the cost of exile.

At the Georgian border I was told: leave now, but when you return you must pay 5000 lari. My “crime”? Doing journalistic work in front of Parliament for 2 hours. Border officers forcefully stamped my passport when I said I didn’t want to leave.

When I was informed about the fine, I said that I did not want to leave the country. In response, they stamped my passport and told me to leave and pay it when I return.

I am trying to cross from the Sarp border area into Turkey, but they say I have a fine of 5,000 lari. As the reason, they point to my presence in front of the Parliament.

Raising the issue of the release of all political prisoners in Azerbaijan should be included as a demand from the US and Western partners in relation to the peace process.

Azerbaijani state television and pro-government social media have launched a massive propaganda campaign following the “peace agreement.” The main themes of the propaganda are: “How USSR gave Zangezur to the Armenians?” “The Armenians deported the Azeris.” “The Armenian lobby…

Jailed peace activist Bahruz Samadov warns a third suicide attempt may come. First in State Security custody, second in Kurdakhani prison, both times saved. In Umbaku prison, his grandmother Zibeyda met him; after a peace pledge, he says unjust imprisonment hurts more.

Bakhtiyar Hajiyev’s arrest was both a stress test and a pulse check for the government, followed by a smear campaign that reframed the case from legal to personal, weakening public defense and aligning discourse to state narratives for long-term control.

Imposing constitutional changes on a country as a precondition for peace hardly feels peaceful. Deliberately seeking to humiliate the other side leads away from positive peace. Lasting peace is built through reconciliation and the preservation of each side’s dignity.

Without freedom of speech, peace initiatives by the Azerbaijani government often become tools of repression, symbolized by the so-called “Iron Fist.” When democracy is weak, peace isn’t built, it’s imposed. True peace needs free voices, not silence under pressure.

Real peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan must start from the ground up, people to people. But many still fear even speaking to each other, worried their governments will fabricate charges. That’s not peace. That’s fear. We need space to talk, connect, and heal.

🛑 Political prisoner Bakhtiyar Hajiyev is facing systematic torture and psychological pressure in prison. He says he’s on the verge of suicide. He is denied medical care, legal visits, phone calls, and the right to send written complaints.

Message from Bahruz Samedov: 1. I highly appreciate the signing of the peace treaty in the American Congress. 2. I ask the Armenian government to issue a statement declaring that I have no connection with Armenia. 3. Closed trials prevent the possibility of open trials

Europe buys gas from Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan buys silence from Europe. It’s a perfect trade. Except for the truth.

150 years of national press in Azerbaijan, marked by a record number of jailed journalists. A shameful milestone. Truth and justice must be defended now. If light returns, it will be thanks to the brave, not the silent.

From Prison Threats to Exile: Azerbaijan’s Journalists Speak Azerbaijan imprisons critical voices over 25 journalists are behind bars. Some fled to Georgia, but exile has not meant safety. In this report, I spoke to exiled Azerbaijani journalists about the cost of truth.

Russia-Azerbaijan relations soured after Qars and Moscow treaties were removed from Nakhchivan’s Constitution. The change enables foreign troops to enter, and its timing amid the Iran-Israel war has fueled Moscow’s suspicions of a covert West-Azerbaijan agreement.
