⚡️🇦🇿🇷🇺Relations between Russia and Azerbaijan have continued to deteriorate after Azerbaijani police raided the Sputnik-Azerbaijan office in Baku. Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the raid but did not specify the reason for the raid.

Russia and Azerbaijan relations have been deteriorating since the Russian FSB arrested around 50 Azeris living in Yekaterinburg, with two dying during the arrests. The FSB stated that they were investigating a series of murders and assassinations spanning 2001 to 2011. This caused a strong reaction from Baku who described the arrests as ethnic violence.

The day prior to the raid by Azeri police, AZ Tv, a state controlled TV network, aired a segment sharply critical of President Putin, accusing him of trying to bring back the Soviet Union and stating that Azerbaijan had become a stronger state after winning the Karabakh War.
