Azerbaijani journalist Afgan Mukhtarli called for the burning of the Russian embassy in Baku. He stated this in social networks.
"5 of our compatriots were killed, but the Russian embassy was not burned down. Self—respecting people would not have left a stone unturned in that embassy," Mukhtarli writes.
