Creativity of liberal Azerbaijani edition

We liked the postscript so much that we decided to place it before the below published new Azerbaijani proverbs in the spirit of tolerance and humaneness

P.S. Unlike our neighbors, who have made Turkophobia and hatred towards us the key component of not only their policy, but also worldview, I do not have such racist views and I am far from crude hatred towards Armenia and the Armenians.

They are, first of all, directed against the obscurantist Armenian policy that has recently turned into an obvious anti-Turkish and anti-Azerbaijani hysteria. I offer our "wretched" neighbors to look closely into that mirror.
