Azerbaijan is a hereditary dictatorship

Why is Azerbaijan styled as a "Unitary semi-presidential republic" without the inclusion of a "hereditary dictatorship"? The Misplaced Pages article for Turkmenistan is described as such, and North Korea, however Azerbaijan, not. The Aliyev family has ruled Azerbaijan since the 1990s, it is a dominant one party-state, very similar to Russia, all opposition permitted towards Aliyev is controlled or pro-Aliyev, this makes it only nominal, and real opposition is jailed and assassinated. Please change this article to make it objective.

Hiding the Iranian identity of North Azerbaijan

It is funny that there is no mention of the Golestan Treaty and the Turkmanchai Treaty. This land was a part of Iran for more than two thousand years and the Russians separated it by force. The Iranian nationality of the people of North Azerbaijan cannot be hidden. Hutellutush (talk) 13:23, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Treaty of Gulistan and Treaty of Turkmenchay are already mentioned in the beginning of Modern history subsection. As for "this land was a part of Iran" - it's more complex than that and there were different periods, as the history section explains. Brandmeister 14:45, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Talysh people

Between 500 thousand and 1 million Talysh people live in Azerbaijan. So, according to wikipedia, why are they shown as less than Armenians and Russians? don't be silly. 37.26.50.24 (talk) 13:38, 9 August 2023 (UTC) <--- blocked sock of User:Aydın memmedov2000

Not calling it a dictatorship is ridiculous

The previous discussion about listing it as a dictatorship lists a point about Russia not being listed as a dictatorship. Well now that has changed, and Misplaced Pages has agreed Russia is under an authoritarian dictatorship. I guess the war changed their minds. So why not Azerbaijan, who itself is committing an aggressive conflict which amounts to ethnic genocide against Armenians? You can find sources clearly agreeing it is a dictatorship. Here are a few: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/azerbaijans-aliyev-is-a-strategic-liability-not-an-asset/, https://hyperallergic.com/615519/artwashing-a-dictatorship/, https://evnreport.com/politics/the-dictator-has-no-clothes-aliyevs-regime-and-its-declining-oil-revenues/. Freedom House basically defines it as a dictatorship without strictly saying the dirty word: https://freedomhouse.org/country/azerbaijan. We must put the truth on here. Evil Narwhal (talk) 18:40, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

The article's lead already mentions "authoritarian leadership under the leadership of both Heydar Aliyev and his son Ilham Aliyev". While a strong case for the authoritarian nature of current Azerbaijani government can be made, going into further details would violate WP:NPOV and WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 21 September 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Azerbaijan. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user.

Demography box is wrong. here is the one copied from the specific page that (I think) I is correct.

Demographics of Azerbaijan

 Not done source? Beshogur (talk) 11:37, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

The current is obviously wrong. Did you look at it? Please do it.

I took this one from "Demographics of Azerbaijan". I am not changing the data, just fixing the pie.

If you prefer have a pie showing a quarter of inhabitants as Ukrainians: be my guest :-D Ab1 tell me... 13:40, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 21 September 2023 (flag update)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The flag of Azerbaijan needs to be updated. It currently displays 2013 shade of the flag, but it needs to feature the updated version: https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Flag_of_Azerbaijan(2019-Present).png

In 2013, the Pantone colour scheme was approved, but in 2019 it was revoked, so the flag returned to pre-2013 shade. I've updated it on the page for the flag itself. While the reference is in Azerbaijani, it is from the Ministry of Justice website. If you scroll down, you can see Article 9.2 stricken with the addendum, revoking the Pantone colour-code scheme.

@Hamidlinski: Can you increase the flag quality, maybe making a svg version? Beshogur (talk) 11:38, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

There is already a .svg version in the database, you could use:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Flag_of_Azerbaijan_(2004%E2%80%932013).svg

Hamidlinski (talk) 12:09, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Can you change the description? Beshogur (talk) 12:12, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, it's not my upload, my upload was only the .png version. I don't seem to have permission to update Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg or edit the description of the current flag svg file I shared. I also see Yue reverted the edit stating update svg file, but I don't have the skill to do so. Could you help, please?

Hamidlinski (talk) 04:30, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't have a clue either. Beshogur (talk) 11:41, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Yue: Beshogur (talk) 11:41, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Hamidilinski: this still uses the "old colors"? Beshogur (talk) 15:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Beshogur yes, this section of the website hasn't been updated in a while. I contacted the press service, and they told me that it is a very low priority for them right now. The 2019 reference to the repeal of the Pantone colour scheme is the most up-to-date version.

@Yue, since you mentioned it, could you please update the Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg file? We don't know how. Hamidlinski (talk) 15:47, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
