    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia's Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasiliy Istratov
    was summoned to the Azeri Foreign Ministry, where Deputy FM Araz
    Azimov handed him a protest note. Azeri MFA Spokesman Khazar Ibrahim
    said the note refers to "distortion of historical facts in the Russian
    encyclopedic edition, specifically to presentation of Nagorno Karabakh
    as an independent formation." Azerbaijan urged Russia to apologize
    and withdraw the encyclopedia from circulation.

    Press attache of the Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan Stepan Rybalko
    said the note will be conveyed to the Russian MFA.

    It's a second note handed to the Russian Ambassador during recent two
    weeks. Earlier Istratov was told about "inadmissibility of distorting
    the historical facts about belonging of the Nakhichevan Autonomous
    Republic to Azerbaijan in Vesti Russian TV program."
