Azerbaijan Condemns Provocative Images at Embassy Guest House in Russia

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan strongly condemned the placement of provocative images targeting the country outside the Guest House of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Russia around midday on August 27, 2026.

Azerbaijani officials stated the act may be an attempt to artificially strain relations between the two nations or part of a biased campaign conducted by certain Russian media outlets. The ministry called on the Russian government to provide a legal assessment of the incident, conduct a comprehensive investigation, and implement measures to prevent future recurrences.

Azerbaijan further demanded that Russia comply with the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations to ensure the safety of embassy personnel and the normal functioning of the diplomatic mission.
