Baku Metro Station Named After King Who Conquered Baku and Slaughtered Its Inhabitants

Iranian expert Vardan Voskanian wrote on his Facebook page: "One of the indicators of the contradictions and artificiality of Azerbaijani identity is that just a few days ago, the dictator of Baku visited the renovated metro station 'Shah Ismail Khatai' in the city.

Firstly, Shah Ismail I was, in fact, the founder of the Shia Iranian Empire and the king of kings. Secondly, this Iranian Shah besieged and captured Baku twice, especially in the first case, choking the local population's disobedience in blood. His successor, Tahmasp I, also annexed all of Shirvan, including Baku, to Iran.

It turns out that the reconstructed metro station in Baku, which I. Aliyev also visited, is named in honor of the Iranian king who conquered Baku and slaughtered the Baku residents. Well, in Azerbaijan, they claim that the Safavids are an Azerbaijani dynasty, but of course, it is based on the 'you also say' principle from a well-known anecdote.
