What should Azerbaijanis in the Russian Federation do if they are forcibly sent to the front?

Azerbaijanis in Russia are becoming involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict: some agree voluntarily for financial benefits, others are subjected to coercion

A disturbing trend is observed among the Azerbaijani diaspora in various regions of Russia. Our compatriots are increasingly becoming participants in the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict. According to available information, the motives for participation vary: some agree because of promised monetary compensation and social preferences, while others become victims of pressure, facing direct threats and the prospect of deportation.

The situation is taking on a tragic character — there have been documented cases of deaths of Azerbaijanis, whose bodies were subsequently delivered to relatives.

Official structures strongly recommend that citizens who face such pressure immediately seek help from the diplomatic mission of Azerbaijan in the Russian Federation and other authorized organizations.

Experts emphasize the importance of giving wide publicity to each such incident to prevent new cases.
