Abstract (2. Language): 
This paper discusses online representation of Azerbaijani Diaspora of post Soviet era. Diaspora websites, discussion groups and forums are analyzed to explore how critical historical moments of newly independent country manifested in its online representation. Analysis of online representation of Azerbaijani diaspora in the United States reveals diaspora's strong connection with homeland that expressed through lobbying of its interests, immediate and constant reaction to the on-going processes in the home country. Study displays a critical role of Internet technologies in representation and formation of Azerbaijani Diaspora as a community.
