All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in Azerbaijan, and maybe we can discuss

0:06.0

a little bit what is going on in Armenia.

0:09.6

So let's start with Azerbaijan and this dispute, this row that we see unfolding between

0:16.1

Russia and Azerbaijan.

0:18.8

And it revolves around criminal gang activity of Russian citizens who are from

0:25.7

Azerbaijan, but they are Russian citizens. And we're talking about a mafia syndicate or a mafia group
