Cross (ICRC) have visited “Armenian citizen Albert Abrahamyan, who was
detained in Azerbaijan a few days ago”. As ICRC Baku Office reported, the
organization controls the issue and expresses interest to the fate of
detainee. It should be noted that “according to the reports of
law-enforcement bodies of Azerbaijan Abrahamyan was detained September 20 in
a forest near Chilyagir village in Gusar region. He had presumably come to
Azerbaijan having crossed the Russian-Azeri border. Soon it was cleared out

Usubov reported investigation over the case is under way. According to the
Minister, A. Abrahamyan wrote in his explanation that he had arrived in
Azerbaijan to visit his brother”, reported the Caucasian Knot.
