BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 23. Azerbaijan’s
Foreign Ministry awaits clarification regarding the remarks made by
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova during a
recent press briefing, said the head of the press service of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Aykhan Hajizada, commenting on the
issue, Trend
reports.
According to him, Zakharova attempted to mention the name of
Azerbaijan’s National Leader Heydar Aliyev in a context unrelated
to a question about Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s
statements on religious figures.
“Mentioning the name of National Leader Heydar Aliyev in such a
manner demonstrates disrespect for his legacy and for the
Azerbaijani people.
Such statements do not meet the standards expected from an
official representative. Diplomacy requires discipline, accuracy,
and responsibility, not inappropriate remarks that heighten
tensions and undermine trust.
We expect clarifications from the Russian side regarding this
statement,” the MFA spokesperson noted.
