Aykhan Hajizada, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded to a local media inquiry regarding the termination of the activities of the “Rossotrudnichestvo” agency of the Russian Federation in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Aykhan Hajizada said: “The activities of such organizations in the Republic of Azerbaijan are regulated in accordance with national legislation, the principle of reciprocity between countries, and the requirements of agreements reached on a bilateral basis.
After the Russian side was informed that the Russian Information and Cultural Center – “Russian House,” the representative office of “Rossotrudnichestvo” in Azerbaijan, was not registered as a legal entity and had been seriously violating Azerbaijani legislation, a note verbale was sent to the Russian side on February 3, 2025, terminating the activities of “Russian House.”
“Thus, based on the decision of the Azerbaijani side to terminate the activities of the “Russian House” in our country, it is expected that the Russian side will take appropriate measures in this regard,” Hajizada added.
