In recent days, news about Azerbaijani singers being detained at Russian airports has been spreading frequently.

Legal expert Akram Hasanov, in his statement to Medianews.az, said that, in fact, this is not a detention: “It is simply an additional inspection before being allowed into Russian territory. It is not exclusively related to Azerbaijan. It is generally related to the actual military situation in Russia. I went to Moscow on July 1, at the very beginning of this turmoil, and they did not let me go for several hours. Like other Azerbaijanis. But it was not only about us. For example, they were also delaying Tajiks. Our singers do not interest any state in a way that anyone would detain them there.”
