Access to the RIA-Novosti website has been blocked again

Free access to the website of the Russian news agency RIA-Novosti lasted for one day – on July 23. After that, he was again blocked on the territory of Azerbaijan. The authorities have not commented on what happened.

The lockdown was introduced after RIA-Novosti published an interview with the so-called “state minister” of the former separatist regime in Karabakh Artak Beglaryan in June 2022.

Baku regarded this publication as disrespecting the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan by the Russian state media.
