On November 18, Polad Bulbul Oglu, Azerbaijani Ambassador to the Russian Federation requested a meeting with Konstantin Romodanovskiy, head of the Russian Migration Service in the Russian Foreign Ministry. The press service of the Embassy of Azerbaijan stated that Grigory Karasin, Deputy Foreign Minister and Vladimir Mochalov, Deputy Head of the Border Service of the Russian Federation, attended the meeting.
Romodanovskiy talked about innovations in Russian migration legislation, including increased penalties for violating the law and the deportation of illegal migrants. Mochalov, Deputy Head of the Federal Frontier Service cited statistics on the Russian state border crossing by citizens of the CIS. The number of Azerbaijani citizens entering Russia over the first 10 months of 2013 amounted to 6% of the total number of citizens of the CIS. This suggests a decrease in the number of citizens of Azerbaijan entering Russia. During the same period of 3909 Azerbaijani citizens were denied entry to Russia.
Azerbaijani Ambassador Polad Bulbul Oglu expressed numerous complaints from citizens of Azerbaijan, who have been denied entry without explanation at Russian airports, including Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.
As a result, there are situations when Azerbaijani’s arrive at a destination airport, and are subsequently deported to their homeland. Among them are students of Russian universities and students, transit passengers, and there was an event when two employees of the Embassy of Azerbaijan were denied entry, despite having official accreditation of the Russian Foreign Ministry. The ambassador complained that Russian departments have the right to rule on the ban on the entry of foreigners.
In his final words, Romodanovskiy addressed the meeting with a request to bring information to the citizens of their countries about changes to Russian migration legislation.
Romodanovskiy also expressed his willingness to meet with his Azerbaijani counterparts in early December 2013 to discuss the draft agreement on cooperation in the exchange of information relating to persons who are denied entry into the country. -02D-
