During the meeting, our country’s serious concern and firm protest were conveyed regarding the provocative, insulting, and threatening statements made recently in Russia’s media and information space against Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani people, and the country’s leadership.
In particular, attention was drawn to the expressions uttered regarding Azerbaijan, our people, and the country’s leadership in the broadcast aired on August 13, 2026, within the framework of the “Chastota ponimaniya” project.
In addition, it was recalled that unfounded claims were made in a program broadcast on Radio “Sputnik” on August 7 regarding the inclusion of the Azerbaijani leadership in “Russia’s list of terrorists and extremists,” as well as the dissemination of insulting materials and provocative views against the leadership of Azerbaijan on the “YouTube” platform on August 9 and on the “Spas” TV channel on August 16.
During the meeting, it was emphasized that discussing possibilities of interfering in the internal political processes of the Azerbaijani state and voicing calls for physical violence against the Azerbaijani people and the country’s leadership are unacceptable.
It was stated that despite the Azerbaijani side’s repeated calls to prevent such activities and the discussion of the matter at various political levels, the continuation of similar rhetoric in a harsher form causes serious concern.
During the meeting, Azerbaijan’s expectation regarding the taking of urgent and effective measures to put an end to anti-Azerbaijan provocation, threat, and violence rhetoric in Russia’s information and media space was once again brought to the attention of the other party.
