Cultural events related to Russia are being canceled in Azerbaijan

Given the demonstrative, targeted, and extrajudicial killings and acts of violence committed by Russian law enforcement agencies against Azerbaijanis on ethnic grounds in Yekaterinburg (Russian Federation), and also taking into account that recently such cases have become systematic, cultural events are being canceled, including concerts, festivals, performances, exhibitions and other events planned to be held in Azerbaijan by state and private Russian institutions.

As reported by the Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan, citizens who have purchased tickets can contact the relevant sales points and online platforms for refunds.

Recall that on the morning of June 27, officers of the Federal Security Service of Russia conducted a raid on the homes of Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg. As a result of the operation, two Azerbaijanis were killed - the brothers of publicist and translator Seyfeddin Huseynli. Several more people were detained.
