The Russian side expressed a diplomatic demarche to Azerbaijan in connection with the opinion of the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the elections in the new regions of the Russian Federation. Such statements are not typical for allies. This opinion was expressed by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
“Such assessments… are not consistent with the allied level of relations between our countries,” she noted.
Moscow therefore, the diplomat added , sent a diplomatic demarche to Baku in which Russia expressed its opinion on the matter.
Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier said that the elections in the annexed territory of the Russian Federation were held illegally and have no legal force.
