The appeal emphasizes that during high-level visits, foreign guests, including the President of the Russian Federation, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as other Russian officials visited the memorial complex “Martyrs’ Alley” and honored the memory of martyrs.

The appeal stressed that during high-level state visits foreign guests, including President of Russian Federation, minister of foreign affairs, as well as other Russian officials visited the Alley of Martyrs memorial complex, and paid tribute to the martyrs by laying a wreath in front of the monument.

The appeal also emphasizes that such articles are aimed at inciting hostility and hatred between the Azerbaijani and Russian peoples.

Taking into account above mentioned, the ambassador has asked for carrying out relevant inspection because of the violation of requirements of the Article 282 of Russian Criminal Code, and the article 10.6 of Federal law "On information, information technologies and information protection" dated on July 27, 2006,” the information of the Embassy notes.
