Ilham Aliyev: We are not responsible for the deterioration of relations with Russia

Azerbaijan is not responsible for the deterioration of relations with Russia, Olaylar informs, President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with Saudi Arabia's Al Arabiya TV channel.

According to Report, speaking about the unmotivated attacks against Azerbaijanis in Russia, the head of state noted that Azerbaijan only responds in a constructive and legal manner, but will never tolerate any signs or demonstration of aggression or disrespect towards Azerbaijan.

"Then these unmotivated attacks on Azerbaijanis in Russia started. Two people were killed and tortured, and then the official information was that they died of a heart attack. Even if they committed a crime 20 years ago, as they say, they are people. They must not be treated like that. What kind of attitude is that? There were Azerbaijani citizens among them, as well as Russian citizens of Azerbaijani origin. That was an unprecedented act against our people. We are not responsible for the deterioration of relations. We only respond in a constructive and legal manner, but we will never tolerate any sign or demonstration of aggression or disrespect towards us," President Ilham Aliyev stated.
