According to the embassy, 1 + 1 channel tried to cast a shadow over socio-political system of the Republic of Azerbaijan, achievements the country gained in the years of independence, distorted the causes of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and praised occupying Armenia and the separatist regime in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The embassy noted that broadcasting such a bespoke and biased program against the Republic of Azerbaijan, which always supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine, voted for this in the UN General Assembly, is committed to the principles of friendship and strategic partnership, rightly caused dissatisfaction among tens of thousands of Azerbaijanis living in Ukraine. The embassy also expressed hope that Ukraine becoming a victim of separatism and foreign intervention won’t turn a blind eye to attempts that serve to support separatism and occupation.
“A letter of protest has already been sent to the abovementioned TV channel, as well as journalists Konstantin Andryuk and Dmitry Volkov, who without the consent of the Azerbaijani state made illegal visit to the Azerbaijani lands, which are under the occupation of Azerbaijan and in where the separatist regime not recognized by any state, including in Ukraine exists, will be declared “persona non grata”,” the embassy noted.
The embassy stated that Ukraine’s 1+1 TV channel undermines friendly relations and strategic partnership between the countries, asking to put pressures on the TV channel and reproach the journalists, who have insulted and committed slander against Azerbaijan and its citizens.
