Rethinking the Role of the Azerbaijani Diaspora in the Post-War Period: Main Challenges Since the Liberation of Karabakh

Diaspora communities are considered one of the influential groups when it comes to the foreign policy making process. Like any other country in the world, diaspora issues are considered one of the main policy elements for the Government Azerbaijani, especially amidst information wars against the Armenian community. Unfortunately, certain statistics, including adoption of anti-Azerbaijani resolutions, further spread of anti-Azerbaijani rhetorics in mass media, as well as increasing numbers of financing pose concerns for Azerbaijan and demonstrates noticeably hostile behavior. Considering these dynamics, the project aims to shed a further light to existing problems and provide alternative policies for Azerbaijani communities abroad for overcoming currently posed obstacles.
