Two employees of the Russian FSB working at Sputnik Azerbaijan have been detained

During the operation conducted by the police at the office of Sputnik Azerbaijan (Baku branch of the Russian International News Agency "Russia Today"), there are detainees.

As APA reports, during the Ministry of Internal Affairs operation, two employees of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation working at this agency were detained.

Since this morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan has been conducting an operation at the Baku office of Sputnik Azerbaijan.

In February of this year, a decision was made to suspend the activities of Sputnik Azerbaijan, which functions as a branch of the Russian International News Agency "Russia Today".

This decision aimed to ensure parity in the activities of Azerbaijani state media abroad and foreign journalists in the country. In other words, the number of Sputnik Azerbaijan journalists working in Baku should have been equal to the number of AZERTAC journalists in Russia. However, the editorial office of Sputnik Azerbaijan did not comply with this decision. During the elapsed period, the editorial office and staff did not cease their activities.
