Breaking News! Azerbaijan has announced that the country has decided to suspend all economic cooperation with Russia and refuses to continue negotiations with Russia on issues such as major business agreements. Undoubtedly, this means that the tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan have escalated again, and it cannot be ruled out that both countries will take further actions at the diplomatic level under the tense situation. Previously, Azerbaijan not only arrested 8 Russians in its country but also detained 3 Russian journalists. At the same time, Russia also took corresponding actions, after arresting the head of Azerbaijani diaspora affairs, it also arrested several Azerbaijani citizens active in Russia. It is clear from this that the bilateral relations between Russia and Azerbaijan are continuously deteriorating. Moreover, both sides have already summoned each other's ambassadors for protests, and both have accused each other of undermining bilateral relations. In short, under the accumulated grievances from historical issues and energy interests, Azerbaijan is clearly challenging Russia with the support of Turkey and the West. Moreover, after the previous plane crash incident, Azerbaijan has consistently demanded an apology and compensation from Russia, but Putin has not made any statement yet. Additionally, due to Zelenskyy constantly inciting, emphasizing that Azerbaijani President Aliyev should resist Russian bullying, it is evident that the relationship between the two countries has become increasingly complicated.
