Baku hopes that the burning of the flags of Azerbaijan and Turkey will be condemned by the Armenian and French authorities

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov, during a meeting with the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs Kaya Kallas, expressed concern about the events in Armenia. There, the day before, during a mass procession, hostile slogans against Azerbaijan and Turkey were sounded, and the flags of both countries were burned.

"We are concerned that there are still revanchist sentiments in Armenian politics, as well as the rapid militarization of the country, which remains a source of threats," Bayramov said.

According to him, Baku expects reactions from Yerevan and Paris within the framework of the law.

The day before, many countries commemorated the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan condemned the burning of the flags of Azerbaijan and Turkey before the start of the torchlight procession. This was announced in the press service.

"Prime Minister Pashinyan condemns this practice, considering it irresponsible and unacceptable. Burning the flags of an internationally recognized state, especially neighboring states, cannot be considered otherwise by the head of the state. This is a provocative and provoking practice," the department noted.

French President Emmanuel Macron made a post in Armenian on social networks.

"On April 24, the National Day of Remembrance, let's remember all the victims and preserve their memory. Let's continue to act in the name of humanity, in the name of truth and justice," the French leader wrote.

Ruben Vardanyan Drops Appeal Against 20-Year Sentence in Azerbaijan
25 February 2026

Billionaire and former Nagorno-Karabakh state minister Ruben Vardanyan, sentenced in Baku to 20 years in prison, rejected the legal force of the ruling and dropped his appeal. His family explained that this decision stemmed from the fact that, in their view, the trial was a "staged performance" rather than a proper trial: the hearings were held behind closed doors, without access to independent observers, and the prosecution's motions were ignored. The full text of the verdict was also not released.

Chechnya Leads in Lowest Alcohol Sales
25 February 2026

In 2025, residents of the North Caucasus regions consumed the least amount of hard liquor in Russia. The lowest official retail sales figures were recorded in Chechnya (0.01 liters per capita). Other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District also demonstrated modest figures: Ingushetia - 0.7 liters, Dagestan - 2.2 liters, Kabardino-Balkaria - 2.6 liters, North Ossetia - 3 liters, and Karachay-Cherkessia - 3.4 liters. Experts attribute this decline to the prevalence of cultural and religious restrictions, as well as a preference for low-alcohol beverages.
