Israel becomes a source of discord: Azerbaijan bans 31 Turkish citizens from entering the country

Azerbaijan has banned 31 Turkish citizens from entering the country, including Fatih Erbakan, leader of the New Welfare Party, MP Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, journalists and religious figures. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry said the decision was prompted by their online publications, which it assessed as containing calls for the violent overthrow of the government and incitement to religious hatred. The ban marks another stage in the deterioration of relations between the two countries, which began after a diplomatic walkout at the UN General Assembly and intensified over restrictions on the wearing of hijabs in Azerbaijani schools.
