The visit to Nagorno-Karabakh was a personal initiative of members
of the Russian State Duma, but not an official delegation, said
the Vice Speaker of the Council of Federation Svetlana Orlova, RIA
Novosti reported.
"Russia has not sent an official delegation, and let the visit of
some MPs be on their conscience," said Orlova.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry declared five deputies of the State
Duma - Konstantin Zatulin, Igor Chernyshenko, Kirill Cherkasov,
Tatiana Volozhinskaya and Maxim Mishchenko as persona non grata for
their participation in the monitoring of the "parliamentary elections"
held May 23 by the separatist regime in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Vice-Speaker of Azerbaijani Parliament Valeh Alasgarov calls "sin
on the soul" of Russian MPs' decision to go to the elections in
Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Of course, it is outrageous, of course, this is unacceptable, but
it's a sin on the soul of those who do not think not only about
Azerbaijan, they do not think, I am quite sure," said Alasgarov,
RIA Novosti reported.
At the same time, he noted that "the freaks of individual persons,
although they are Russian citizens, can not adversely affect
the relationship between the Azerbaijan Republic and the Russian
Federation.
