Vor einem Jahr beschuldigte Sputnik aserbaidschanische Journalisten und Aktivisten, die für West arbeiten. Sie wurden danach ungerecht verhaftet. Jetzt werden sie auch verhaftet.

Things got heated up after the killing of Azerbaijanis in Russia. Do you have any info on the victims? What do you think of their relationship with the government? Our government doesn’t care about its citizens, so I don’t think the Sputnik raids were an attempt to punish Russia in a tit-for-tat move. Since the arrested Russians are facing espionage or being a Russian agent charges, I have a hunch that the killed Azerbaijanis might also be connected to the national security service somehow.
