Baku / 13.03.19 / Turan: The website of the Russian Foreign Ministry posted a warning to citizens of Armenian origin in Russia not to go to Azerbaijan.
"Under the pretext of the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Azerbaijani border service continues to refuse to allow people, regardless of citizenship, to have direct or indirect signs of belonging to Armenian nationality to enter the country. It is motivated by the inability to ensure the personal safety of such persons.
Repeated appeals of the Russian side to the Azerbaijani side about the inadmissibility of discriminatory actions based on ethnicity against the citizens of the Russian Federation arriving in Azerbaijan Republic are ignored.
Taking into account the above circumstances, we strongly recommend Russian citizens when planning trips to Azerbaijan to carefully weigh the likely risks," recommended the Russian Foreign Ministry. -02D-
