Diplomatic Tensions: Journalists and Tragic Detentions

The Kremlin announced on Tuesday its determination to secure the release of Russian journalists currently detained in Azerbaijan. This development comes amid escalating diplomatic tensions between the two neighboring countries. The journalists, arrested on Monday, face allegations of fraud.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described Azerbaijan's actions as an "emotional reaction," but he maintained that all issues could be resolved through direct dialogue between Russia and Azerbaijan. This diplomatic dispute highlights the fragile relations between the two nations.

Simultaneously, Azerbaijani prosecutors have initiated a criminal investigation into the alleged murder of two Azerbaijani brothers detained in Russia last week. The brothers reportedly suffered fatal beatings while in custody, deepening the diplomatic rift.
