Azerbaijan sends a diplomatic note to Russia

Azerbaijan has sent a diplomatic note to Russia for broadcasting anti-Azerbaijani news on Russian state television.

In a statement issued by the embassy of Azerbaijan in Russia, it was stated that the embassy sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia due to the speeches of Russian political scientists and experts of Armenian descent against Azerbaijan in the program “The Great Game” aired on Channel 1 on October 20-21 and due to doubts about the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

The statement noted that the guests of the program provoked the vindictive forces in Armenia to rekindle the past conflict and sow the seeds of enmity between the two nations by supporting separatism.

The note stated that the event that took place in the program was contrary to the agreement on alliance activities signed between Russia and Azerbaijan on February 22, 2022, and asked Russia to stop the provocative actions of the press representatives and to take urgent measures to prevent this from happening again in the future.
