The "Memory Cartography" of Azerbaijani Emigrants

fariksec

Rare to see news about Azerbaijan on HN—glad this one made it to the top! If you haven’t been to Baku or Azerbaijan, definitely add it to your travel list. These days, many skilled Azerbaijanis contribute across various sectors in Europe and beyond. If in the past we were mostly known in Russia for bringing fresh tomatoes and produce from sunny Baku, today’s generation is more globally aware and engaged in tech, finance, and many other fields.

Also, if you have an Azerbaijani friend, don’t hesitate to celebrate Nowruz with them today/tomorrow—and Ramadan later this month! Salute to all former compatriots who went abroad in pursuit of a better life and a better version of themselves.
