Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry has summoned Polish Ambassador to the country, Pawel Radomski, and handed him a note of protest over what Baku described as biased and unacceptable remarks broadcast by Polish public broadcaster TVP World.

According to the ministry, Radomski was summoned over a report aired on August 26 on the “Eastern Express” program, The Caspian Post reports.

The ministry said the report contained “biased, inaccurate and completely unacceptable” statements targeting Azerbaijan and its leadership.

The ministry also voiced strong dissatisfaction with what it described as the program host’s provocative conduct.

Baku said the dissemination of information that distorts reality was particularly concerning amid ongoing efforts toward normalization and peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The ministry stressed that Azerbaijan continues to pursue efforts aimed at securing lasting peace, stability and security in the region.

It also described the airing of negative content about Azerbaijan by a public broadcaster funded by the Polish government as an “unfriendly step” that runs counter to the spirit of partnership between the two countries and could seriously harm bilateral relations.

Azerbaijan urged the Polish side to take immediate and effective measures to prevent similar campaigns targeting the country in the future.
