Justice has prevailed
FLNCA leaders’ relatives were released
Category: 
Yesterday
night we received a great piece of news from Azerbaijan. The last of the four
arrested in Azerbaijan and accused of crimes they had never committed, ethnic
Lezghin, citizen of Azerbaijan was released right in the court room. The
criminal cases filed in Azerbaijan against the three arrested our compatriots
and Russian citizens – Javid Babaev, Tariel Sarkarov and Ayaz Azakhov were closed
earlier, they regained freedom and today, early in the morning, returned to
Russia.
The justice
prevailed and the false accusations were removed. They have the only real "guilt”
– they were the relatives of the leaders of the Federal Lezghin National and
Cultural Autonomy.
First and
foremost I would like to express gratitude to all our compatriots, to the
general public of Dagestan and Russia, to all those who were responsive and
compassionate to our problem.
I can’t
help expressing particular gratitude to Maxim Shevchenko, a remarkable
journalist, well-known public leader, and FLNCA’s friend, for the efforts he
has made to acquit and release our compatriots.
I should
also emphasize that the positive outcome was achieved to a great extend thanks
to the endeavors undertaken by the staff of the Presidential Administration and
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. They managed, without
damaging the successfully developing cooperation between Russian and Azerbaijan,
to resolve positively the problem of our great concern.
My recognition and respect should also go to the Azeri side, to all those who revealed the sense of justice towards the innocent people whose fates could have been broken due to the falsely understood "state interests” by some zealous officials.
Our most
hearty thanks should also be expressed to the Ambassador of Azerbaijan in Russia
Mr Palad Byulbyul-ogly, who showed the best human qualities, looked into the
problem and found the way to its resolution.
And of
course we had no doubts that the final outcome of the cases was in the hands of
President Ilham Aliev, as a guarantor of the Constitution of his country. All
of us, our families and friends express our sincere gratitude and appreciation
to him for the fair decisions taken with regard to these cases.
Arif Kerimov, Member of the Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations under the President of the Russian Federation, FLNCA President
