Russia-Azerbaijan Clash Over Journalist Detentions: Who’s Losing It?
Have you heard about the latest diplomatic mess between Russia and Azerbaijan? It’s not a war, but it’s almost like one — with journalists detained and accusations flying everywhere!
What happened?
Two Russian journalists were detained in Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan’s ambassador to Moscow, Rahman Mustafayev, was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Spokesperson Maria Zakharova called Baku’s actions “hostile” and “illegal.”
The Russian embassy in Baku couldn’t contact the detained journalists for two hours, and consular staff were not allowed to see them. No one knows why the journalists were detained, and Azerbaijan remains silent.
Why now?
This all happened after Russian authorities on June 27 detained six ethnic Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg, suspected of organized crime and attempted murders. Two of the detainees died in custody, and Baku accused Moscow of “extrajudicial killings on ethnic grounds.” Moscow categorically denies this.
The drama continues
Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested against raids by Russian security forces on the apartments of their citizens in Russia. In response, Azerbaijan’s parliamentary delegation canceled a visit to Moscow, citing the detention of their citizens in Russia as the reason.
Who’s losing it here?
This diplomatic soap opera is pure drama! Russia and Azerbaijan, once allies, now eye each other with suspicion. Journalists have become pawns in a power game full of accusations. Is this the start of a new cold war or just another episode in a long series of conflicts?
What’s next?
Russia has made it clear it won’t tolerate the detention of its citizens, and Azerbaijan isn’t backing down from its accusations. All this is happening while the world watches and wonders — where’s the end?
