Baku is a Horrible Place!
---- More reviews from tourists ---
After living and working in Baku for the last 4 years. I can honestly say its the most unfriendly place i have ever been. The streets are filthy and the buildings are horrible. The people are always trying to steal or con money from you. My opinion is if you dont have to go then dont!!!!! This will never be a tourist destination as there is nothing to do or see. Please take my advice and steer clear

Azerbaijan's aggression against Armenia
AZERI ARE AGAINST PEACE VISITS
While the Ambassadors of Armenia and Azerbaijan to Russia Armen Smbatyan and Polad Bul Bul have been planning to pay a peace visit to Nagorno-Karabakh, the Azeri Ambassador’s private residence has been attacked by some unknown people, “Hayq” says.
In 2007 by the initiative of the Ambassadors of Armenia and Azerbaijan a group of Armenian and Azeri intellectuals visited Stepanakert, Yerevan and Baku. Currently the Ambassadors themselves plan to pay a peace visit to Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan.
“In the aftermath of the previous visit a small shadow of hope felt the hearts of our people,” Armen Smbatyan told “Regnum”. The Ambassador emphasized that those visits are not aimed to replace the negotiating processes anyhow.
It is believed that the Azeri Ambassador’s residence was attacked by coation, as the Ambassador’s initiative to pay a visit to Nagorno-Karabakh is not welcome by Azeri who say that the visit is under Armenians interests.Panorama
