Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has stressed his strong protest against a Russian State Duma member's illegal visit to Karabakh, Trend reported on January 7.
In a letter to United Russia Party Chairman Dmitry Medvedev, President Aliyev protested against another illegal visit of State Duma member Vitaly Milonov to Azerbaijani territories, where Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed.
On New Year, Milonov, who is a member of the party led by Medvedev, visited Azerbaijani territories, where Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed and held several meetings there.
