MP: Vladimir Zhirinovsky's appeal to Russian Foreign Ministry is
interference in affairs of Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan, Baku, June 10 /Trend, M.Aliyev/
Appeal of deputy chairman of Russian State Duma, the LDPR leader
Vladimir Zhirinovsky to the Russian Foreign Ministry is a call by
certain circles who want to intervene in the internal affairs of
Azerbaijan, MP Aydin Mirzazade told Trend.
"If this would happen with regards to Zhirinovsky's country, he would
accept it emotionally, urge the media to be active in this issue," he
said.
Zhirinovsky appealed with an official letter to Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov, the official website of LDPR reported.
"Zhirinovsky considers unacceptable the reaction of the Russian
ambassador to Azerbaijan Vladimir Dorokhin in connection with the
incident involving a journalist of "Echo of Moscow" Sergei Buntman,"
said the letter.
At a press conference on June 8, Dorokhin touched upon the recent
visit of a reporter of "Echo of Moscow" to separatist Nagorno-Karabakh
without agreement of the Azerbaijani side, which the head of radio
station Alexei Venediktov justifies in his statements.
"One cannot ban Venediktov to make statements, but he should
understand his responsibility," Dorokhin said. "Azerbaijan's decision
to restrict this man [journalist Sergei Buntman] - is its right, and
it is not discussed."
Deputy Chief Editor of the Russian radio station "Echo of Moscow"
Sergei Buntman visited occupied Nagorno-Karabakh without Azerbaijan's
knowledge in mid-May. Buntman has interviewed the separatist leaders.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry included the journalists in the list
of persona-non-grata. Azerbaijan declares foreigners, who visit
Nagorno-Karabakh without notifying Baku, persona-non-grata.
According to the Azerbaijani MP, Buntman visited the occupied
territories without the consent of the authorities of Azerbaijan.
"And rightly Azerbaijan names such persons in the black list - it is
recognized throughout the world. Every foreign citizen who wishes to
visit Nagorno-Karabakh should take into account this fact," said
Mirzazade.
Azerbaijan's actions lead to a reduction of Nagorno-Karabakh visits of
those who are fraudulently invited to this territory, and then
apologize to the Government of Azerbaijan, he said.
"I think that in any case, Azerbaijan should not make concessions on
such matters, and Russia, specifically the Russian Foreign Ministry,
understands the position of the Azerbaijani side," - said the MP.
