[quote=So Boerd] Because there's no evidence Azerbaijan voted for it. [/quote] Haha, Outcast can tell us, but between autocratic Orthodox Russia which is increasingly hostile and the Pan-Islamist democratic Ottomans, I have a feeling that we all know for whom the Azers voted. In any case, to ease your worry, while Persia and Shias positively hated the OE in this period, Russia they hated more and would have congratulated the OE on 'liberating' the Caucuses from them. If you disagree with my conclusion I would be interested in hearing your thoughts ;)
