Baku, May 28, AZERTAC
The Pakistani Dispatch News Desk (DND) has published an article by analyst Shazia Cheema headlined “May 28 and Azerbaijan: Freedom goes through river of blood”.
The article reads: “I had always been a student of linguistics, semiotics, and philosophy of communication therefore, understand that struggle for the survival of national identity plays a pivotal role in the journey of vernacular to a full-fledged language.
I had an idea of the ruling mechanism of the former Soviet Union but my knowledge was very sketchy about Communist Era and how did it try to erase the national identities of regions under its subjugation? I found the answer when my interest in the languages and cultures of the former Soviet Union republics got enhanced by studying and meeting friends from Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Czech Republic, and many more from the former Eastern Bloc. I strongly feel that the resilience level of these nations was too high so they survived under extreme suppression and subjugation of the former Soviet Union. I can call Central and Eastern Europe a “Land of Resistance”.
