Azerbaijani media reported the detention of two "FSB agents" allegedly working undercover in Sputnik Azerbaijan.
Earlier, the police came with searches to the editorial office of the Russian news agency Sputnik Azerbaijan in Baku.
The detention of the "agents" took place against the background of detention in Yekaterinburg members of an ethnic group on suspicion of committing murders in the 2000s.
After that, the Russian attorney was summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, Baku canceled all cultural events through the Russian line, and the planned visit of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk to Azerbaijan was canceled.
