There are several closed type entertainment places in Baku, where representatives of not traditional sexual orientation gather at nights. News "Vesti.az" prepared reportage about one of the bars, where young people have recently had a knife-fight.

The author of the story was especially outraged by the fact that the owner of the place, "who apparently suffered a severe disease of brain", had named the bar "Turk Oguz" (Turks- Oghuz were medieval Turkic tribes, whom the Azerbaijani consider to be their ancestors - Ed.).

"You must agree that a businessman who zealously cares of the “rest” of sexual minorities, could give this place an appropriate name, for example," Blue Oyster"," We're in a trance from a trance," “Gay is man's best friend ", etc.", the author writes.

"It is outrageous that our nation gets insulted in the very heart of the capital, almost publically. And we, who love to speak about the love towards our Fatherland and nation with foam on our mouths, we keep silent, like with a mouth full of water. It is impossible to think that the police, the executive bodies or the others did not know of the existence of that institution. Unfortunately, the moral degradation of our society is evident. Degradation grows and we should fight with it," the article of the Azerbaijani news agency says.

According to the author, calling a gay bar "Turk", "Oguz" or "Azerbaijani" is offensive. "There are gay bars all over the world, but is there a gay bar called "Armenian", " Georgian"," Russian ", " Greek", "Polish" and even "French"? No, and cannot be. Because even in liberal Europe, where we are advised to respect the rights of gay, insulting the nation is a taboo. Maybe besides defending the rights of gays we should learn from the Europeans what is self-esteem too?” the author writes with outrage.

Then the reportage says that the gays gather at the bar after ten at night, both in men's and women’s clothing, in mini-skirts and wigs. "Last year in August betrothal of homosexuals was held here. One was in a red evening dress and the other in white. They arrived in decorated cars, with all traditions, how ridiculous it would not sound. Our employee took it on video, and in the morning showed us pictures," girls working in the nearest shop told the author.

A transvestite named Eliza told the reporter that exclusively gays attend this bar. Here at nights the gays celebrate their birthdays, engagements and weddings. The bar is open until morning. According to sources, the age of the attendees ranges from 18 to 28.
