Azerbaijani Embassy in Moscow sends note of protest to Russian MFA

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 24. The Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Russian Federation sent an official note of protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in connection with the “Great Game” program on Channel One on October 20 and 21, 2022, in which Russian political scientists and experts of Armenian origin made frank anti-Azerbaijani attacks, the territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan was called into question, and the shown geographical map of our country was distorted.

This is stated in the message of the Azerbaijani embassy in Moscow, Trend reports on Monday.

The note specifically emphasized that the guests of the talk show, with their speeches, provoke revanchist forces in the Armenian society, reanimate the conflict left in the past and openly support separatism, sow enmity between the two peoples.

The embassy brought to the attention of the ministry that the use of biased statements on the air of the state television channel and the admission of obvious political provocations not only runs counter to the official position of Russia, repeatedly voiced by the President of the Russian Federation and expressed in support of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, but also undermines the steps taken to ensure the long-term peace, stability and security in the region.

It was noted that in the conditions of the current fragile peace in the region, media representatives have a special responsibility for preventing provocations that could lead to tension and aggravate the situation.

It was also stressed with regret that the host of this talk show and the direct accomplice of this “performance” is a member of the United Russia faction, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Nikonov.

"Such behavior of representatives of the ruling party of Russia contradicts the spirit of the Azerbaijani-Russian allied interaction, and also causes significant damage to bilateral relations. The Embassy again drew the attention of the Russian side to the fact that the relevant provisions of the Declaration on allied interaction between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation dated February 22, 2022 contain a call to refrain from any actions that are detrimental to strategic partnership, allied relations and from activities directed against state sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of states, and also provide for joint efforts to counter separatism.The Azerbaijani side urged the Russian side to take urgent measures to stop the provocative actions of representatives of the Russian media and prevent their recurrence in the future" - the note says.
