According to him, recently an officer of the Russian secret services, who previously served in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, was appointed to the post of head of the Baku representation. The MP called on the Media Support Agency and the Azerbaijan Press Council to take measures to ban the activities of Sputnik in Azerbaijan.

Therefore, it is worth thinking about the further activities of this agency in Azerbaijan,” he told Turan. Earlier "Roskomnadzor" blocked Azerbaijani websites in Russia: Haqqın.az, Oxu.az, Minval.az, Baku.WS.
Sputnik regularly publishes pro-Armenian materials, and also propagandise the war against Ukraine. This agency has been operating in Azerbaijan since 2015. -03B-
