🇷🇺🇦🇿⚡- BREAKING: Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev says he 'refuses' to go to Moscow's May 9 Victory Day parade, given Russia's 'disrespect' towards Baku.

According to Azerbaijani outlet, Caliber, Baku is still demanding an official apology from Russia's President Putin over the AZAL plane crash. Azerbaijan says the delay in the apology is severely impacting the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Caliber claims the second reason is over the recent major hackings of Azerbaijani government sites and outlets, which began displaying IRGC-backed group logos. Baku's investigation concluded that the hacking originated from Russia.

Finally, Russian authorities 'bizarrely' prevented Azer Badamov, Azerbaijani Member of Parliament, from participating in events dedicated to the memory of Heydar Aliyev without any explanation, even though Badamov was officially invited.

Russian Presidential aide on Foreign Policy, Yuri Ushakov, has confirmed the news.
