Has Putin lost an ally? What is happening between Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan summoned the temporary charge d'affaires of the Russian Federation Embassy in the Republic of Azerbaijan, Petr Volokov, due to attacks on Azerbaijanis in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. This was reported by 'Glavkom' citing the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

"A sharp protest was expressed to the Russian side regarding the June 27, 2025 raids by Russian security forces in the apartments of our compatriots, during which two Azerbaijanis were brutally killed, several people were seriously injured, and nine were arrested," the statement said.

Milli Majlis member Vugar Iskenderov stated that the silence of Russian officials "regarding the horrific incident against Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg" sharply contrasts with how Azerbaijanis react to minor incidents involving Russians.

Response from Russians

Former Ukrainian people's deputy-traitor Oleg Tsaryov, who fled to Russia, claimed that Azerbaijan supposedly seeks a reason for conflict. According to him, the current leader of Kazakhstan supposedly should be grateful to the Russian authorities for help in suppressing the coup in Kazakhstan.

"Eastern European countries that were part of the Soviet bloc are now irreconcilable enemies of Russia," he said.
