The reason for President Ilham Aliyev's absence from the Victory Parade in Moscow on May 9 has been revealed.

Axar.az reports that some of the factors that influenced the Azerbaijani leader's cancellation of his visit to Moscow.

It should be noted that although 5 months have passed since the crash of the AZAL passenger plane, no operational investigative measures have been taken by Russia, nor have those responsible for this incident been found and brought to justice.

At the same time, some time ago, it was confirmed that cyberattacks on some Azerbaijani media resources were carried out from Russia. Moscow has not clarified this issue either.

In addition, a few days ago, Azerbaijani parliamentarian Azer Badamov was banned from entering Russia; he was detained at the airport in Moscow and deported. The Russian side has not made any substantiated statements on the issue.

All these factors are reported to have influenced the postponement of the Azerbaijani President's visit to Moscow.
