Elimination of All-Russian Azerbaijani Congress in Russia Unfriendly
Step Towards Azerbaijan - MFA



Baku / 19.09.17 / Turan: Elimination of the All-Russian Azerbaijani
Congress (ARAC) in Russia is an unfriendly step towards Azerbaijan.
This was stated by the official representative of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Hikmet Hajiyev, commenting on the
decision of the Appeals Board of the Supreme Court of Russia to
approve the first instance court's verdict on the liquidation of ARAC.

"In general, we regard the decision to eliminate ARAC, which played an
important role in the development of humanitarian relations between
Azerbaijan and Russia, as an unfriendly step from the political point
of view, which severely impacts the development of the strategic
partnership of the two countries at a high level," Hajiyev said to the
state news agency AzerTaj.

The reasons for such an unfriendly decision of the Russian Federation
on the liquidation of ARAC are not clear. Moreover, Russia is one of
the co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group, and this status
requires demonstration of a balanced approach towards the sides of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. "At the time when an unfair approach to
the representatives of the Azerbaijani community living in Russia is
being applied with the elimination of ARAC, the Russian Union of
Armenians is fully supported and continues its activities," Hajiyev
continued.

In general, the Russian Federation's policy regarding the liquidation
of ARAC is surprising and causes serious questions and deep regret,
Hajiyev summarized. -06D--
