Azerbaijan cancels Russian events over the killings of 2 citizens in Yekaterinburg
Azerbaijan has canceled all cultural events planned by Russian state and private institutions in protest over the deaths of two Azerbaijani citizens during police raids in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg, Azerbaijani officials said Sunday.
Azerbaijan's Culture Ministry wrote on X that concerts, exhibitions, festivals and performances were canceled on account of 'the demonstrative targeted and extrajudicial killings and acts of violence committed by Russian law enforcement agencies against Azerbaijanis on ethnic grounds in Yekaterinburg.'
