At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China, fresh details surfaced about the circumstances behind Azerbaijan’s blocked membership bid. Diplomatic sources cited by APA said the decision was not only driven by India but also actively supported by Russia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry reportedly played a central role, with the matter discussed in political consultations between Moscow and New Delhi, leading to a joint agreement.
Russia, however, placed India in the foreground while itself staying in the background. Some observers interpret Moscow’s move as a sign of disregard for China, which has consistently promoted the SCO’s expansion in line with the “Shanghai spirit” and openly supported Azerbaijan’s membership.
Despite this,at the recent summit, Russia and India together opposed Baku’s accession, effectively sidelining Beijing’s position.
A diplomatic source had confirmed to Anewz at the start of the week that India blocked Azerbaijan's SCO membership bid.
It claimed this was in retaliation for the country enjoying close ties and support with Pakistan.
