Another Russian MP declared persona non grata in Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. Nikolay Valuev, the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Tourism of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russia, has been declared persona non grata in Azerbaijan, as reported by Azerbaijani media with reference to the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of  Azerbaijan, Ayhan Hajizadeh.

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry called "absolutely unacceptable  and  offensive, threatening remarks directed against Azerbaijan and its  people." At the same time, the Azerbaijani diplomat boasted that they  had previously included in this list First Deputy Chairman of the CIS  Affairs Committee of the State Duma of Russia, Konstantin Zatulin,  and Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Family Protection, Vitaly  Milonov.
