Repeated expression of the Russian Foreign Ministry\u2019s attitude towards the issue of the entry of the country\u2019s citizens of Armenian origin into Azerbaijan in the form that is beyond diplomatic ethics is very strange and incomprehensible, Azerbaijan\u2019s\u00a0Ministry of Foreign Affairs<\/a>\u00a0said in a statement on Thursday. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"xin-xin\"<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s hostile attitude does not in any case suit the relations of strategic nature between the countries, the Foreign Ministry noted.<\/p>\n

“This issue has never been on the agenda for the last 25 years, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Azerbaijan. In this case, it is hard to explain the excessive activity of the Russian side with regard to this matter. In accordance with the regime of beforehand notification and warning, the Azerbaijani side has created conditions for the entry of Russian citizens of Armenian origin into the territory of Azerbaijan into the territory of Azerbaijan. Hundreds of citizens of Russia and other countries of Armenian origin have so far been allowed to enter the territory of Azerbaijan after beforehand notification. In accordance with international and national law, Azerbaijan, which is a peaceful, multicultural land for the coexistence of peoples of various ethnicities, decides on its own as to allowing or disallowing foreign nationals\u2019 entry into the country,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Azerbaijan\u2019s Foreign Ministry stated that Russia, as an\u00a0<\/span>OSCE<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Minsk Group co-chairing country, does know that 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory is under occupation as a result of Armenian invasion and aggression and an act of ethnic cleansing was carried out against Azerbaijanis in the occupied territories.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than a million Azerbaijanis still lead the life of refugee and IDP. We would like to mention the\u00a0<\/span>Khojaly<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>tragedy, which was carried out overnight by Armenian forces against the town\u2019s population with the involvement of some foreign citizens of Armenian origin,\u201d said the ministry.<\/p>\n

The statement stressed that the death of a woman and her 2-year-old granddaughter as a result of the Armenian armed attacks and provocations against Azerbaijani people on July 4th of this year is yet another piece of evidence that Armenia tends to commit this type of terrorist acts against Azerbaijani civilians.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, such an attention to the issue from the Russian side at such a critical time raises serious questions.<\/p>\n

Azerbaijan\u2019s Foreign Ministry stated that it is absolutely inconceivable of the Russian side paying such an attention to the issue while no other country has raised this issue.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Russian side remains indifferent to the fate of Dilgam Asgarov, a Russian citizen of Azerbaijani origin who was taken hostage while going on a visit to the graves of his parents, the statement said.<\/p>\n

The statement further said: \u201cThe Russian Federation is a co-chairing country of the\u00a0<\/span>OSCE<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Minsk Group, and we expect that this country, due to its responsibility, will make more efforts for an early settlement of the conflict and the Armenian troops will be withdrawn from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. As a result, there will be sustainable peace and stability in the region. That\u2019s when conditions will have been created for free entry and exit of people. This position of the Azerbaijani side has been repeatedly brought to the attention of the Russian Foreign Ministry in an appropriate manner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
