Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry today called on the Russian ambassador to Baku, in which he protested Moscow’s “non -friendly actions” as he says, amid a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

This southern Caucasus country expressed “serious concern” about Russian police’s actions against Azeris during its houses in the city of Yekaterineburg. Two people of Azeri descent died in these raids, an incident investigated by Azerbaijan’s forensic services.

The Foreign Ministry also reports that it is also condemning the lack of transparency on Moscow in relation to the downing of Azerbaijan’s passenger aircraft, which, as Baku says, was shot down by Russia’s anti -aircraft defense, killing all 38.

Baku says Russia’s events and reactions to these events have a “harmful impact on bilateral relations”.

Russia: They complained about killings by 6 people

Russia’s investigative committee announced today that it has charged six people, all Russian citizens, of killings and other serious crimes in a case that has caused tension between Russia and Azerbaijan.

The accusations are part of a survey of members of a community of people of Azeri origin living in the city of Ekaterinburg.

Six people are accused of killing many people with a payment contracts between 2001 and 2011.

Russia calls Azerbaijan to restore links with Moscow

At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry today called on Azerbaijan to restore its ties with Moscow to the level of “strategic cooperation”, after Moscow said some forces were trying to destroy the two countries’ relationship.

The diplomatic conflict began last week after the deaths of two Azeris during police raids in Russia and escalated after arresting two Russian journalists working for Russian state media and about 15 Russians as suspects for drug trafficking.

Azerbaijan says that the necropsy in Baku for the two men who died in Russia showed that they were beaten to death – although Moscow said one of them had died of heart problems – and that authorities in Baku began their own research.

Relations between the two countries remain strained by the end of last year, when 38 people were killed after Azerbaijan’s crash headed by Baku to southern Russia. Baku says the crash was caused by an anti -aircraft defense units in Russia.

Nmet Avazov, head of Baku’s research on the accident, told reporters today that his team would publicize its findings in the coming days.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zaharova said today that Moscow has been cultivating its relationship with Baku for many years based on mutual respect and implied that unknown factors are now trying to use the situation to “rub their hands”.

“Just don’t let them fire,” she told Sputnik Radio in an interview. “Because for us, for the two peoples, friendship relationships are extremely important. And those who want to spoil them have to think carefully about what they are doing. “

He later stated in informing reporters that Baku would have to restore his links with Russia, complaining that Moscow has no consular access to its detainees.

“We, of course, call on the Azeri side to take steps to return our links to the level of transnational relationships, as defined in the official documents. Let me remind you that this is the level of strategic cooperation, “he said.

The Kremlin has stated that Russia aims to negotiate the release of its journalists, who are accused of fraud and other crimes and have been in custody in Baku.
