Is Baku, Azerbaijan all a facade? - What They NEVER Show You

What do you think of Baku? An incredible place or a glamorous city built at the expense of its people? Would love to hear your thoughts 😊
By the way, I said ‘Legzins!’ 😁❤️

Very beautiful country with very beautiful people love Baku

Couldn`t you have put on a shirt with long arms, do you think that the world is really interested in these ugly tattoos?

Azerbaijan 🇦🇿❤

🇦🇿🇹🇷🇵🇰🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝 Super vidio!👍👍👍👍💕⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

hello to world from Azerbaijan.

Moving forward with architecture, culture, and food. Thanks for the adventure! 👍❤

I just met a man from Baku who told me he is gay & people would watch him & see the same man coming from his apt. they would selectively saying things about the same person seeing him or at his place implying he is gay which he is! he said he didn't feel free there as a gay man. he said people seem to know everyone & watch U so U don't feel free to really B yourself.
This was his experience being from there &so he left & moved to LA. Ca.
he still has biz in Turkey but is so much happier here & said he feels free to B himself.
He did say it was so cheap to live there he could live a very affluent lifestyle while here in LA, he can't yet live the expensive type life style he live in Buku.
Save how inexpensive things R there compared to lA, Ca.
I could live like a Queen there with what little money I have, but like the guy from there I might not fit in being a rather off beat hippie non religious out-spoken woman.
It is a very interesting looking city, but if I can't B or feel free to B me,I wouldn't wish to live there either!
I don't care for suppression of my personal views, so maybe I would not fit in there very well with my liberal non-religious views.
Do love the Flame Towers, but that isn't enough for me to want to live in any city.
I think most important is feeling free to believe, act & think as U want & feel. I don't mean being hateful, judgmental or cruel to others, but just feel free enough to B your own unique self without feeling U R somehow wrong.
I think this chap I met from Baku felt he was a misfit & although he was living a life of luxury he had to leave to end his freedom of his heart & his mind.
He feels he has found it & will B able to reach the same level of lifestyle soon here in the USA. LA,Ca to B exact... To B clean not all cities in the USA R open & accepting of gay people or off beat artists like myself.
I get him & understand exactly how he felt there...

I lived there as a child and I’m Afghan. Best memories ever. Very good people. Love you guys

Beyond postcard veneer, Azerbaijan is a nation that sits somewhere between fake fact expert North Korea and genocidal Nazi Germany. All you need to do is just scratch the surface a little and it's all there, a short history of barely 100 years ruled by an autocratic family for most of this time can't cover up its dark reality. There is a reason it's almost exclusively UK citizens (well greased BP employees) that spread their propaganda from the outside. It's understandable Matt and Julia wants to avoid soiling the channel with uncomfortable facts, but at least they could do better than to parrot dictatorship's talking points; there are practically no Jewish and Armenian/Christian communities left.

I was in Baku last week and that's how I'd sum it up - is it all just a facade?
Large beautiful buildings everywhere, but they all seem empty. Some building are the same one after another. It felt like GTA in real life.

It's a beautiful place

Sadly Baku comes across as a fake amusement park with lots of glittery facades and very little real substance.

Go a but far to see how really they live the corruption and poverty in this country is insane

It looks like any muslim country that has a lot of oil resources. New modern buildings and bazaars. The city is clean but the architecture looks chaotic sometimes with a lot of concrete. The courtyards look quite bad. Azerbaijan is a dictatorship and maybe that’s why people don’t want to talk with foreigners. Let’s hope that they will not do any pogroms against armenians like they did in Baku in 1990.

Dubai but with actual plumbing

Baku never produced 10% of the worlds oil.

City of sin......not much to do but drink in bars and full of whores!

IAM SOMALIA I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE IN BAKU BUT I LIKE VERY MUCH AZERBAIJAN TO SEE SO ONE QUESTION DID YOU NEED VISSA IN AMERICAN PASSPORT. .THANKS ..

I visited Baku first time in January 2014, as I was involved in the Crescent Development Project.
I fell in love immediately with the city: so hospitable, so comfortable, so quite...

Only without dictator

I want to go there now🎉

Good video... I was there 10 years ago... amazing place, but crazy dictator and family steal money from the people.

How do they feel about people of color ?

1.21 lesbians 😂😂😂😂 do you mean Lebanese maybe ?

Can anyone tell how good are Christmas and New year celebrations in Baku?

I'm watching this video, on my "Today" 14 July, 2023, from NM, U.S. after intense day at work.
I really Love how you are presenting the foods you are eating, and the visuals you are observing.
I could probably type/chat more, but, for now,
I want to say great thanks, for your video (which I haven't even completed yet). Haha.
Keep growing and going Forward. Ms.Tree.

Azerbaijan is one of the countries I would like to visit one day inshallah

Remark:
Smelling food before eating is not appreciated especially when you are a guest

Azerbaijan is a criminal state. Baku was built by Armenians. Where are the Armenians btw? Why cannot we visit our apartment on Kaverochkino? Why are you advertising a highly criminal culture? Sumgait pogroms, Baku pogroms and many more crimes by this babaric tribe!

I would love to visit Baku and Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

Everywhere is becoming expensive life is hard esp if you are a good honest person

Did you have any problems at the border with an Armenian stamp in your passport? Getting nervous 🤣🫶🏻

안녕하세요 한국에서 인사드립니다🤗🇰🇷
아제르바이잔 비디오를 보고 있으면
나의 어릴적 추억이 떠오릅니다.
80~90년대 에서 멈춘 과거의 느낌
하지만 현대와 공존하는 …
한국은 모든게 빠르게 흐리고 변화 합니다
그속에서 살때 더욱 마음은 복잡합니다
나는 어린시절로 돌아가고 싶어요 …
모든게 그립고 어린시절의 공기라도 마셔보고 싶어요🥺
하지만 아제르바이잔 영상을 보면서 위로 받습니다
지난날의 추억과 향수.

My favourate destination. Well constructed inferstructure of the city

I’m not sure why but I’m surprised that the country is moving forward as it is and as usual there’s always a flip side of the coin, quite literally.
The promenade looks beautiful, flat and very modern.
I didn’t learn anything about these countries when I was at school.
Great video M & J 😃🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

I have just relocated from the UK to Baku.
It's a very welcoming and an easy place to live.

The lady's pomegranate stew is Fesenjoon in Farsi

Thank you so much❤

It is a Dictatorship

Nice video but the information about the average salary is wrong....officially average salary in Baku is higher than 1000AZN which is more than 600USD, plus it's official numbers...in reality people also get additional income from the shade economy. FYI

The reasons aren't that obvious.

Baku, you are magnificent. I love you ❤

baku,tatistan

Azerbaijan is like my 2nd home, fall in love with the country and been in Baku 6th times since the travel ban due to covid was lifted.

Bakú ooks like a very beautiful city!

I am British and worked in Azerbaijan - actually Baku - for two years back in 2012-2014. Azerbaijan? A country that you either have or have not; money. There's no in between. Simply, there is the rich and the poor with nothing in between! But the people were lovely - the poorest that is!!

Baku is one of the reasons why american oil companies financed 1917 revolution. they just got rid of the competition
