Rossiya Segodnya Head Urges to Release Groundlessly Arrested Sputnik Azerbaijan Reporters
Those who consciously took this step understood perfectly well that in the absence of any objective claims to the work of journalists, it would inevitably lead to a complication of interstate relations between Russia and Azerbaijan, Dmitry Kiselev, the director general of the Rossiya Segodnya international media group, told Sputnik.
"Now, as it seems, it is possible to calmly release [Sputnik Azerbaijan's editorial director] Igor Kartavykh and [editor-in-chief] Yevgeny Belousov from captivity and thus take a noticeable step towards restoring relations between our countries. I also agree that movement towards this restoration is necessary on both sides," Kiselev said.
Sputnik Azerbaijan journalists, Russian citizens, have been jailed in Azerbaijan for a month on baseless charges, Kiselev stated, noting that the media group, including Sputnik, has always focused on strengthening friendly ties with host countries.
