Azeri Embassy in Moscow send a protest to Russian MFA

The note protests against Russian RTR TV channel's reporting about the ceremony organized on the occasion of the "independence" of the alleged "Nagorno Karabakh Republic".

RTR's Vesti news programme introduced the head of the separatist regime functioning in the occupied Azerbaijani lands Arkadi Gukasyan as the president of the NKR.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman Tahir Taghizade told the APA Azerbaijan's position regarding this matter was expressed in the protest note saying that such reports harm the relations between the two countries.

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry had ordered the Embassy in Moscow to investigate the issue.
