Russian broadcasters Vladimir Solovyov and Anna Shafran made offensive attacks against the Azerbaijani people and distorted several facts of the history of other peoples in a programme recently broadcasted by Vesti FM radio station (Russia). 
In this regard, the religious community of Highland Jews of Azerbaijan made a statement.
"Commenting on the pro-Armenian attacks on Russian journalists, let me point out the inadmissibility of the comparison of the Holocaust with the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict," Chairman of the Board of the religious community of Highland Jews in Azerbaijan Semen Ikhiilov said in a statement.
"The Holocaust is a result of ethnic hatred of the Nazis against the Jewish people. Azerbaijan has never had anti-Semitic moods. Azerbaijan is a civilized and democratic country. Azerbaijanis are very sincere, benevolent and tolerant - they respect kindly everyone who come to Azerbaijan with peace and sympathy. Jews living in Azerbaijan are deeply outraged by impermissible tone and hysterical remarks against Azerbaijanis and the Azerbaijan State," the statement says.
"Is Solovyov still not aware of the occupation of Azerbaijani territories by Armenia and over one million refugees? I don't believe it... We, the Jews of Azerbaijan, consider insulting accusations against our brothers Azerbaijanis defamatory. I feel guilty due to pseudo-journalists of this kind," Ikhiilov said in a statement.
