BAKU, Azerbaijan, Mar. 27. The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan regretfully informs that some points of the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation dated March 27, 2022, do not reflect the reality. The statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense also demonstrates disrespect towards the Declaration on Allied Interaction signed by the Presidents of the two countries on February 22, 2022, Trend reports citing ministry.
We remind the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that Article 1 of the Declaration on Allied Interaction signed by the Presidents of the two countries on February 22, 2022, states that “The Russian Federation and the Republic of Azerbaijan build their relations on the basis of allied interaction, mutual respect for independence, state sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of the state borders of the two countries, as well as adherence to the principles of non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, peaceful settlement of disputes and non-use of force or threat of force”.
The statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense also demonstrates disrespect towards the declaration signed by the President of the Russian Federation, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
The Ministry of Defense reiterates that there is no village called "Furukh" in the Khojaly region of Azerbaijan. The name of the mentioned village is "FARRUKH".
