Azerbaijan intends to make changes to the rules of temporary stay for Russian citizens, in particular, it is about the terms of stay in the country, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Aikhan Hajizadeh said, Azerbaijani media reported.

The representative of the Azerbaijani ministry reminded that Russia had previously reduced the terms of stay for foreign citizens.

According to him, in the near future Azerbaijan plans to make adjustments to the rules governing the terms of temporary stay of Russian citizens on the territory of the country, “as the tightening of requirements by the Russian side is primarily considered in the context of the rights of Azerbaijani citizens.”

“Azerbaijan, as in any foreign policy issue, will proceed from the principles of parity and reciprocity in the issues of temporary stay and migration,” Hajizadeh added.
