The Azerbaijani ambassador has been summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) due to Baku's unfriendly actions, the ministry noted in a statement, reports RBC.

The ambassador was summoned also due to the illegal detention of Russian journalists, "to whom the Azerbaijani authorities have not had any complaints over the years," Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zakharova added.

Over the weekend, Russia's Chargé d'Affaires in Azerbaijan Pyotr Volkovykh was summoned to the Azerbaijan MFA, due to the arrest of Azerbaijanis and the death of two suspects in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
