On October 28, Elnur Kalantarov, the head of the Public Relations Department of the State Migration Service, said that according to the legislation, Ukrainian citizens could typically stay in the country for 90 days. "However, due to the situation in Ukraine, the applications of citizens coming to Azerbaijan from this country are taken into account," he noted.

Earlier, on October 24, Caucasus Watch reported that Azerbaijani State Television's weekly program "Hafta" was heavily critical of Russia. Rovshan Mammadov, chairman of Azerbaijan State Television and program host, decided to respond to the "propaganda of some Russian presenters and broadcasters" against Azerbaijan. "Considering the fact that [state] media perform their task of propaganda of the state policy, the broadcast of the talk show of the Russian First Channel, which is openly provocative and insulting to our country, is not an ordinary program, but it reflects the opinions and tasks of the official circles [of Russia]. If this is so, then let's start. The war waged by Russia on the territory of Ukraine is aggression and a clear threat to the territorial integrity of another sovereign country. Therefore, the annexation of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia to the territory of Russia is a gross violation of the norms and principles of international law, a fact of occupation," he said.

On the same day, Caucasus Watch reported that Azerbaijan sent a protest note to Russia, according to Azerbaijan's embassy in Russia. According to the information, this was related to questioning the territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the distortion of the state map in the program "The Great Game," which was broadcast on Russian public broadcaster First Channel on October 20 and 21.
