The head of the Turkey—Azerbaijan Friendship Foundation called for protests in Russia

Chairman of the Board of the Turkey-Azerbaijan Friendship, Cooperation and Solidarity Foundation Aygun Attar called on Azerbaijanis to protest in Russia.

"State terror against non-Russian peoples has begun in Russia. Who gave the order to kill Azerbaijani Turks in Russia by the hands of the state? I call on all people, especially about three million Azerbaijanis living in Russia, to protest. I strongly condemn the Kremlin, its Russian chauvinism, separatist sentiments and Islamophobic approach," Attar wrote on the social network.

So Attar commented on the fact that in Yekaterinburg law enforcement officers stopped the activities of an ethnic group. Members of the group are involved in murders and attempted murders in Sverdlovsk region in the 2000s.

Attar cursed those who carried out the raids.

"May Allah have mercy on our compatriots, whose houses in Yekaterinburg were raided by Russian intelligence officers, beating and killing them in front of their families just because they protested against being sent to war in Ukraine. May those who committed this terrorist act be cursed!" she writes.

As EADaily reported, against the background of criminal proceedings in Yekaterinburg, a crisis began in interstate relations with Azerbaijan. A Russian attorney was summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, Baku canceled all cultural events through the Russian line, and the planned visit of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk to Azerbaijan was canceled. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that all the answers in the case will be given by the Investigative Committee of Russia.
