Free entry to the web site of the Russian information company RIA-Novosti lasted for at some point – on July 23. After that, he was once more blocked on the territory of Azerbaijan. The authorities haven’t commented on what occurred.
The lockdown was launched after RIA-Novosti printed an interview with the so-called “state minister” of the previous separatist regime in Karabakh Artak Beglaryan in June 2022.
Baku regarded this publication as disrespecting the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan by the Russian state media.
