The name of the Russian politician Andrei Bogdanov has been excluded from the "black list" of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. According to the press service of the Foreign Ministry, Bogdanov is the leader of the Russian Party of Social Justice and also the Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge of Russia. Some time ago, the name of Andrei Bogdanov was included onto the black list by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry for illegal visit to Nagorno-Karabakh. Bogdanov wrote a letter to the Foreign Ministry, where regretted what had happened, and respect for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. He asked to remove his name from the "black list". Bogdanov expressed regret in connection with this visit and stressed that the visit to occupied territories in any case does not serve the promotion of the illegal regime. After considering the application, the Foreign Ministry decided to remove his name from the "black list of citizens who illegally visited the occupied territories of Azerbaijan,” reads the statement. -02D-
