Abstract
The policies implemented to prevent the Turkish peoples in the Soviet Union from coming together with various elements turned into acts of violence from time to time. In particular, Azerbaijan's relatively stronger appearance compared to other peoples, its interdependence, and close relations with Turkey increased the variety of sanctions imposed by the Soviet administration on Azerbaijani Turks. When social sanctions were at the highest level, the Azerbaijani press was taken under control, and freedom of thought, though, and expression was prevented. The Soviet administration implemented exile policies under Collectivization for the Azerbaijani Turks and other minorities, who played an essential role in the Kolkhoz system, part of the social and agricultural system. With the prohibition of the use of Azerbaijani Turkish, the communication channel of Azerbaijani Turks was also tried to be blocked, and attacks on social values were started with state-run newspapers. In addition, radio and cinema were also used as propaganda tools under pressure and control by the Soviet administration. The state arrested the targeted people, created an atmosphere of conflict, and interpersonal communication turned into a confrontation. The people of Azerbaijan, whose economic situation deteriorated, could not socialize and were excluded, were increasingly isolated. While Russian chauvinism increased with the Repressiya policy implemented, Armenians also attacked other minorities, especially the Azerbaijani people, with the support they received from the Russians. The Azerbaijani press, which was closed, pressed, and most exposed to attacks and censorship, became dependent on the work of individual intellectuals in the face of limited opportunities.
