Azerbaijani native apologizes for insults in house chat
A woman from Surgut, a native of Azerbaijan, apologized for insulting Russians during the conflict in a house chat, but Internet users questioned her sincerity.
On June 30, the Surgut administration reported that in a residential building, a man reprimanded children who were tearing down posters in a lift and breaking equipment. He filmed the whole process and posted it in the chat. “One of the tenants reacted sharply to the remark, allowing herself extremely negative statements,” the “VKontakte” reports.
A woman named Raya threatened the man with force. She also insulted him, comparing him to an animal and emphasizing that he was Russian by nationality.
The post caused indignation among social media users, and some of them offered to bring the woman to justice under an article about inciting ethnic hatred.
Members of the Azerbaijani Diaspora condemned the statements written by the woman. Amil Abbasov, the deputy chair of the National-Cultural Autonomy of Surgut Azerbaijanis, promised to make sure that the situation would not happen again.
“I sincerely regret that I offended the Russian people ... I will not make such a mistake again,” the woman herself said later in a video posted on the “SurgutInformTV” YouTube channel.
The woman explained that she personally insulted the man in response to his behaviour towards her children, because he posted their pictures in the house chat and “offended Islam.”
It should be noted that the practice of public apologies is also widespread in other regions, but above all it is typical for Chechnya.
