Apparently the revolution bug is infectious. However, Azerbaijan has squashed them as soon as they happen. Troops shut down demonstrations before they even happened. Protestors were carried off for speaking. However, some feel that the start of revolutions all over the Arab world are not surprising:
"Rasul Jafarov, a lawyer with the human rights organisation "Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety", says the revolutions in the Arab world are now inspiring people here to take to the streets.
"For the past five years the situation was very bad when it comes to guaranteeing human rights and freedoms," he said.
"People just waited and waited and waited. But because of events in the Arab world, people here now understand that they should go and ask the government to meet their demands. Now people realise they have a real chance of changing something."
This explains the current trend. See article below.
