Russian official calls for banning ethnic diaspora organizations in Russia
Akhmedova’s Telegram post declared, “it is time to abolish diasporas,” insisting that no government agency should be involved with such groups. This demand extends beyond the Azerbaijani diaspora, which numbers over 620,000 people in Russia according to a 2002 census.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijani authorities have detained and jailed several Russian nationals, including senior journalists from Sputnik Azerbaijan, accusing them of illegal financing and involvement in cybercrime and drug trafficking—charges denied by the news agency. These developments have further strained Moscow-Baku relations.
