Not one called #Holodomor carried out by Soviet Russia that killed my family to fund socialist Nazi Germany. Not #WWII one that killed my family by fascist Nazi Germany.

27/ Additionally, Azerbaijan was the name of the modern republic only after 1918. So, "Azerbaijan name is not on these maps" argument is moronic. Empire names change. The Turks who built the empire are still the Turks. Not Armenians... 😄
