    Georgian Azerbaijanis detained in Armenia not released yet

    [ 16 Feb 2007 14:00 ]

    Azerbaijani residents of Tezekend village, Georgia, Mehman Asgerov,
    Kamandar Mustafayev, who were detained on February 7 and Sadakhli
    village resident Huseyn Mammedov detained on February 10 by Armenian
    frontier guards, haven't been released yet, officer of Azerbaijani
    embassy in Georgia Elkhan Polukhov told APA's bureau.

    He stated that Tezekend village residents are being detained in
    Yerevan. Yerevan Court will decide whether to release them or not.
    The destiny of Huseyn Mammedov, who has detained in the disputed zone
    in Georgian-Armenian border, hasn't been cleared out yet. Because
    Armenian frontier guards claim the territory belong to Armenia. As
    for release of two Azerbaijanis, the officer said that they are
    Sadakhli village residents.
    `Armenian frontier guards tried to detain two Azerbaijanis gathering
    brushwood in the disputed zone three-four days ago. They are husband
    and wife. They were lucky to have mobile phone about them and they
    contacted the village immediately. Marneuli region leadership and
    police chief interfered with the case and didn't let Armenians arrest
    the couple', he said.
    Mehman Asgerov and Kamandar Mustafayev were detained in Armenian
    region of Noyemberian while cutting tree. Huseyn Mammedov was
    detained in the disputed zone between Armenia and Georgia in the
    border of Noyemberyan and Marneuli six days ago. The commission
    members for delimitation of Georgian-Armenian borders are
    investigating the territory. Detained Azerbaijanis had contacted
    their families and said they are well. /APA/
