Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on her Facebook page: “The Peter Forum and the ZHARA in Baku вере missing. Well, you understand.”
Notably, in late July-early August of this year, it was planned to hold the JARA (Heat) Music Festival in Baku, which was canceled due to a coronavirus pandemic. It is a Russian-Azerbaijani project, which is being held since 2016.
More than 1,400 comments were made under Zakharova’s post, most of them by Armenian and Azerbaijani users, who linked the remarks to the tense situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
