“We want to emphasize once again that the security of the diplomatic missions, including the diplomats, must be ensured by the host country in accordance with international obligations. It is important in this regard that the British Minister mentioned the security of the diplomatic staff as a priority issue.

As for the "exercising of the freedom of expression", the relevant institutions of Britain, an ancient Western democracy, are most probably well aware of the ways/rules of application of this principle in a free society, which has nothing to do with the attack on our embassy in London. Otherwise, interpretation of any radical and illegal step under the guise of "freedom" may cause serious problems for the country's security.

We expect that the attack on our embassy in London will be thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators will be brought to justice,” Abdullayeva added.
