Azerbaijani journalists are “deeply disappointed” with the blocking of Russian-language Azerbaijani media on the territory of the Russian Federation, Aflatun Amashev, head of the country’s Press Council, said.
He noted that Azerbaijani journalists “honestly fulfill their professional duty and show maximum objectivity” when covering the situation in Ukraine. According to Amashev, the Azerbaijani media “are ready at any moment to provide pages and airtime for the considerations and counter-arguments of the Russian side.”
Amashev stressed that representatives of the Azerbaijani media “remained and remain within the framework of a civilized dialogue”, while “retaining the hope that the blocking of Azerbaijani websites in Russia is just a temporary and unfortunate misunderstanding that cannot overshadow the traditionally friendly Russian-Azerbaijani relations.”
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.” In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries (USA, Canada, EU, UK, Japan) announced new, tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation, including financial and economic ones.
