“We have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of any state. However, if one or more Azerbaijani citizens are subjected to particular cruelty, their rights are grossly violated, or they are deliberately killed with extreme brutality during a process, it is one of the duties of the Azerbaijani state and its law enforcement agencies to respond to such incidents,” Ilgar Safarov, Senior Assistant to the Prosecutor General for Special Assignments, said during a briefing at the Prosecutor General’s Office regarding the torture and deliberate killing with particular cruelty of Azerbaijani citizens and ethnic Azerbaijanis in the Russian Federation.

“Criminal acts committed against the interests of an Azerbaijani citizen or the state outside the country’s borders are prosecuted by law enforcement agencies under criminal law. If such individuals are not held accountable in the states with which we have partnership agreements, we naturally take necessary measures in various directions to ensure their accountability,” he emphasized.
