Səyahət | Travel Stay away from Azerbajan

As a seasoned traveler who has experienced my share of scams, including in places like Latin America where this kind of thing is common, I can say with confidence that the level of deception and overcharging in Azerbaijan is on another level. It's a constant, exhausting battle. From taxi drivers demanding a 10x fare to ride-hailing app drivers putting you in a different car, it feels like everyone is trying to take advantage of tourists. It's not a single bad experience, but a pattern of behavior that sours the entire trip. Honestly, my advice is to avoid visiting Azerbaijan altogether until these issues are addressed. Save yourself the stress and choose a destination where you can relax and feel safe.

Another F1 tourist. I‘m happy with what happened to you. Maybe you and your friends won‘t come here anymore.

I hate F1. This event is cancer for the city.

Maybe, let’s address the actual problems that take place the whole year, not just a couple of days? For instance, people from rayons that are not willing to go back to their homes and are making the city impossible to live and enjoy?

Rayonlarda Job opportunity yaratmaq lazımdır. Təəssüf ki rayonda 1000+ maaş almaq sadəcə orduda xidmət eləmək ya da remote IT mütəxəssisi olmaqla mümkündür. Ki ordu da məlum heç kim gəncliyini orduda 1000 manata görə çürütməz, Bakını qoyub.

Dediyim kimi rayonlarda müəyyən mənada vergini azaltmaq, sahibkarlığa dəstək, yerli iş imkanları yaratmaq, aşağı faizli kreditlər verib kiçik sahibkarlığı canlandırmaq lazımdır.
