(MENAFN- AzerNews) Azerbaijani Embassy in Russia sent a note of protest to Russian
Foreign Ministry in connection with the unacceptable statements of
the Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the State Duma of the
Russian Federation on Information Policy, Information Technologies
and Communications Oleg Matveychev on the air of the Armenian news
agency "RUSARMINFO".
The statement reads:
"It was highlighted that the deputy from the "United Russia"
party's opinions against Azerbaijan and Türkiye are unacceptable,
that they aim to destabilize the region, and that they are
interpreted as an incitement of revanchist forces in Armenian
society to rekindle the conflict left behind.
It was noted that the statements about "inciting the conflict by
Azerbaijan" against the background of the reconstruction works
being actively carried out in the liberated territories are
nonsense.
It was stated that despite the heavy consequences of the 30-year
occupation, it was Azerbaijan that first initiated the process of
normalization of interstate relations with Armenia and continued to
promote the peace agenda, which envisages the signing of a peace
treaty based on the principles of territorial integrity and
sovereignty of the states.
The Azerbaijani side stated that such statements of the
representative of the ruling party of Russia overshadow the
mediation of Russia, which supports the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan and makes efforts for the normalization of
Azerbaijan-Armenia relations. Oleg Matveychev cannot be unaware of
the Declaration on mutual cooperation of alliance signed between
the two countries in February 2022, and his such statements are a
violation of the provisions of that document. A deputy representing
the ruling party must be responsible in his statements and be
guided by the official position of the Russian Federation.
The interview of the deputy responsible for information policy
in the Russian Parliament to the Armenian website, which is an
information platform for attacks against Azerbaijan and incites
inter-ethnic enmity in Russia, indicates that it has an ordered and
imperative nature."
