"the Soviets who created a puppet state in Azerbaijan"

Is the writer of these words a visitor from an alternate Earth in which Azerbaijan was not a part of the Russian Empire?
God knows Azerbaijan was better off when it was part of the USSR. As in, you could be an Armenian there and not have to worry about being hacked to death with an axe a la Sumgait.
To the best of my recollection, BTW, Iran supported Armenia vs. Azerbaijan in the war, because they felt an independent Azerbaijan would rile up nationalist feelings amoung Azerbaijanis in Iran. Actually Armenia's only open land border is with Iran.
