The invitation to this event of representatives of the illegal regime created in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, as well as the statements made at the meeting of the club by Zatulin himself, the former ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov, and the deputy director of the Institute of CIS Countries Vladimir Yevseyev and some other persons, contained open attacks on sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
This is aimed at damaging the existing high level of cooperation between Azerbaijan and Russia. In addition, the statements of K.
