India has blocked Azerbaijan's participation in the upcoming BRICS summit as a guest, Greek journalist Paul Antonopoulos tweeted.

Azerbaijan is not as hostile towards India as it is towards Greece, but they have zero tolerance for aggressors. Meanwhile, the Greek government pretends that Azerbaijan is a liberal antidote to Russia, Antonopoulus added.

This year, Baku received an invitation to be a guest at the BRICS summit, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Moscow, Beijing, Pretoria, Brazil reacted positively to this, but New Delhi opposed it.
