the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
A resolute protest was expressed to the British diplomat over
the attack by a religious radical group on the embassy of
Azerbaijan in London on August 5, the report said. It was brought
to the attention of the charge d'affaires that this provocation
seriously affects the issue of ensuring the security of the
