As you know, Lankaran was chosen as the 2024 Turkic Youth Capital. Lankaran is an important value of Azerbaijan with its geography, cuisine, and local folklore traditions. However, the problem is that Lankaran is not known as a Turkic city. Organization of Turkic states is already absurd and not a serious institution to be taken seriously. Still, what they are doing seems like a logical contradiction. Everything aside, it’s absurd. Lankaran maybe capital for many categories but Turkic world? No way

    Niyə belə edirlər görəsən? Məqsəd ya talışları görməzdən gəlmək/alçaltmaqdır, ya bərbad bir assimilyasiya girşimidir, ya da qısaca orqanizasiyanın başında olan qoyun hər kimdisə zır cahildir.

  2. It’s an Azerbaijani city and in an officially Turkic-speaking country. They will just host some international youth networking conferences and events there, who cares? It’s funny it bothers you so much.

  3. Your post is absurd and not serious. Lankaran is in a Turkic country and has a substantial Turkic population.

    Lənkərana heç də tam Talış şəhəri deməzdim. Hətta tarixə baxsaq Talış xanları belə yerli hakimlər yox, İrandan köçüb gəlmiş Türk nəslindən olublar. Lənkəranda yaşayan türklərin sayı kifayət qədərdir (assimilyasiya uğramış talışları saymasaq belə).

  5. niye bele bir sheyi assimilyasiyaya baglayirsiniz ki? son iller yeqin ki en chox inkishaf eden sheherlerden biri lenkerandir, gelen xariciler rayonlara uz tutursa, bunun 50-60%i demek olar ki lenkerana gedir (bir chox turist ve xaricilerle ishlediyim uchun bunu deye bilirem) and as you mentioned, why we should take it seriously and say that okay there is assimilation and absurdity?
    anddddd lankaran should the one which hosts events like those.. because it is beautiful, it is easier to reach from baku, anddd there is an airport after all.. do not think too much, brother
