/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasiliy Istratov
was summoned to the Azeri Foreign Ministry, where Deputy FM Araz
Azimov handed him a protest note. Azeri MFA Spokesman Khazar Ibrahim
said the note refers to "distortion of historical facts in the Russian
encyclopedic edition, specifically to presentation of Nagorno Karabakh
as an independent formation." Azerbaijan urged Russia to apologize
and withdraw the encyclopedia from circulation.
Press attache of the Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan Stepan Rybalko
said the note will be conveyed to the Russian MFA.
It’s a second note handed to the Russian Ambassador during recent two
weeks. Earlier Istratov was told about "inadmissibility of distorting
the historical facts about belonging of the Nakhichevan Autonomous
Republic to Azerbaijan in Vesti Russian TV program."
