Azerbaijan-Russia Conflict: Till just earlier, Russia and Azerbaijan’s relationships were based on deep cooperation and belief. During the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Russia openly supported the position of Azerbaijan and after the war, Putin gave a new place to the relationship between the two countries by taking a historic visit to Azerbaijan, but by the end of 2024, the equation was completely reversed. In December 2024, the situation started deteriorating due to Azerbaijani aircraft being killed in Russia. Please tell that Azerbaijan is the same country that supported Pakistan during the India-Pakistan struggle.
Russia accidentally targeted an Azerbaijani citizen aircraft as Ukrainian drone, in which 38 people died. After this, Russia called it an unfortunate mistake, but Azerbaijan considered it a serious military negligence. The death of citizens provoked both the public and the government. This accident caused a boil against Russian influence within Azerbaijan.
Police action in Yakaterinburg further increased tension
After this, another incident made the situation explosive. The Russian police raided Yakaterinburgh over suspicious death of two Azerbaijani brothers. On reaching Azerbaijan of the bodies, the post -mortem found that police custody had died due to harassment. Azerbaijan called it a violation of human rights. With this, the visit of Russian Deputy Prime Minister was canceled and all cultural programs were postponed.
Azerbaijan’s aggression
Azerbaijan then took action against many Russian citizens and media institutions. Under this, the office of Sputnik at Azerbaijan was raided and the editor was arrested. Warnings were given to close Russian schools and Russian citizens were also accused of drugs and espionage.
Turki role in Azerbaijan
