Vestnik Kavkaz saw a statement from the Azerbaijani Embassy in Russia, in which Azerbaijani diplomats respond to the reaction of State Duma deputy Konstantin Zatulin in connection with the protest note received by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs due to Zatulin's visit to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
“The embassy carefully read the statement of the press service of the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin dated October 17, 2019. The statement reads that sending the note by the Embassy to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation is the apotheosis of a hysterical campaign directed against a deputy visiting the occupied territories of Azerbaijan,” the embassy stated.
”It would be more appropriate for the deputy to speak out about the ongoing policy of Armenia to glorify the accomplices of fascism in the person of Garegin Nzhdeh and, in this regard, to find out the position of the Russian Foreign Ministry on this issue, ” the embassy called.
