Last year, System of Down’s frontman Serj Tankian warned Imagine Dragons about performing in Azerbaijan. He had penned an open letter to the pop-rock band, asking for them not to play in the capital Baku, accusing the country of “crimes against humanity” for their military actions which he described as a looming “genocide”. Tankian warned at the time that the band’s performance could “help whitewash the dictatorial regime’s image” and that committing to the show despite what was going on in the region would have “a negative impact” on Imagine Dragon’s brand. “I’m confident that you can deciphe...

In fact, the whole tea culture, from brewing to serving, is vastly different. Azerbaijani teatimeIn Azerbaijan, the process starts by boili...
