    ARMENIAN DIPLOMATS CONTINUE EFFORTS FOR RELEASE OF SIX PILOTS

    YEREVAN, APRIL 1, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign ministry said
    Wednesday it is continuing efforts to secure the release of six
    Armenian pilots arrested in Equatorial Guinea in early March on
    charges of involvement in an alleged plot to overthrow the president
    of the West African country.
    The ministry said Armenia's permanent representative to the UN,
    Armen Martirosian met on Tuesday with Tiliameni Kalomoh, an aide to
    UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan who visited Equatorial Guinea last
    week. During the meeting Mr. Kalomoh informed the Armenian side about
    his March 25 meeting with A. Karapetian, the commander of the
    Armenian crew detained in the capital Malabo, noting that the
    Armenian pilot denied any involvement of his crew in the attempted
    coup d'etat. The UN Secretary General's aide also said that he had
    urged the Guinean authorities to refrain from violating the rights of
    the arrested people and was assured that they will not be mistreated.
    The foreign ministry also said it has asked the Guinean
    authorities to allow Armenian diplomats to visit the country and is
    waiting for their reply.
