These are gruesome images. Two comments:
1. Azerbaijan's oil revenues should go to help these families, not on buying weapons to start another war with Armenians, which will likely to add to the already large number of refugees and IDP. 2. Where are the images of 300,000+ Armenian refugees and IDPs?

Armenians weren't expelled from Azerbaijan. Most of them sold their apartments and left Azerbaijan. That is why you can't take such photos in Yerevan.

This is an especially nasty way of rewriting recent history. But it is not surprising - people in Azerbaijan are brainwashed by the propaganda machine of President Ilham Aliyev's corrupt Muslim oil dictatorship. Armenians were expelled from Azerbaijan under the most brutal circumstances - Sumgait massacre in 1988, Kirovabad pogrom in 1989, Baku massacre in 1990, "Operation Ring" in 1991 which deported 24 Armenian villages from and around Nagorno Karabakh in 1991, and summer offensive of the Azerbaijani army in 1992, which almost depopulated Nagorno Karabakh.

RFERL you need to rethink your system here. I want to share this on Facebook, but do not share the opinions expressed by the first person who commented on this photo story. Unfortunately, when I attempt to share this, the text of Mr. Harduny's comment appears under the title. In this sense he has prevented people from sharing these important pictures from Baku unless it coupled with his personal point of view.
For anyone interested in sharing this without having to promote someone else's view, the photos are also located on the RFERL Azeri site absent comentary: http://www.azadliq.org/soundslide/642.html. Excellent work!

I never aspired to prevent to share these photos. Why does Sarah want to share these photos through the Facebook?
