US EditionAzerbaijan cancels Russian events over the killings of 2 citizens in Yekaterinburg
- On June 27, Russian FSB forces killed Azerbaijani brothers Ziyaddin and Husein Safarov and detained nine others during violent raids in Yekaterinburg.
- These raids followed a murder investigation but occurred amid strained Moscow-Baku ties and accusations of ethnically motivated violence against Azerbaijanis.
- Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry demanded immediate investigation and justice, while President Aliyev canceled Russian Deputy PM Overchuk’s planned visit and all Russian cultural events.
- Lawyers reported torture and forced confessions in detention, and MPs labeled the FSB’s actions state-sponsored terrorism causing calls to reconsider diaspora residence in Russia.
- The incident prompted Azerbaijan to enact its most forceful diplomatic measures since the December airliner downing, further widening the diplomatic rift amid Russia’s lack of substantive engagement and evasive rhetoric.
