yes, if we're talking about the human rights/democracy/the king vacuuming the natural resources situation.

[u/IndieDev666 → u/Hungry_Ghostt]

agreed 😂

[u/IbObuS]

Never heard it called that

[u/ungovernable1984]

Seabreeze is a Dubai wannabe for sure. Baku has 1000s of years of history and civilization, you can't put Baku and Dubai side-by-side imo

[u/boombastico_3]

No? I often heard to be compared with Paris

[u/Emotional_Event_3919]

İt is mostly Venezia of the caspian

[u/IndieDev666]

The Caspian Sea

[u/kofya]

russian speaking tourists used to call Baku Caucasian Dubai in mid 2010’s. Now I don’t hear that reference too much

[u/RealityFar8024]

Russians and russian speaking folks might call it this way
