During the operation of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs, two FSB employees of Russia, who work in this agency, were detained.

In February, Azerbaijan decided to suspend the activities of Sputnik Azerbaijan.

The decision aimed to provide parity in the activities of Azerbaijan state media abroad and foreign journalists in the country: the number of Sputnik journalists Azerbaijan working in Baku was to be equated with the number of journalists of Azrtaj in Russia.

However, Sputnik Azerbaijan ignored this decision: the editorial board and the team did not cease.

Prehistory:

• In addition, the visit of the Azerbaijan Parliamentary Delegation to Moscow was abolished.
