Azerbaijan orders Russia to shut down its cultural center over registration violations.

Azerbaijan has instructed Russia to close the "Russian House," a cultural center run by Russia's Rossotrudnichestvo agency, due to its lack of proper registration and violations of Azerbaijani laws. Azerbaijan informed Russia of this decision via a formal diplomatic note on February 3, 2025. Russia is working to resolve the issue and is considering registering the center legally. Azerbaijan also recently closed USAID due to similar legal issues, highlighting its commitment to national interests and rejecting external interference.
