Azerologist Anzhela Elibegova and constitutional expert Gohar Meloyan, who had been apprehended and taken to the National Security Service, exited the building of the National Security Service a little while ago.

“I have absolutely no idea what is going on and why I was taken to the National Security Service. The officers seized my mobile phone and my office computer, in which there was information, including information about Azerbaijan’s war crimes that I was going to submit to the Human Rights Defender,” Anzhela Elibegova told reporters.

Gohar Meloyan added that first the officers searched their offices and then took them to the National Security Service where the investigators refused to show the court decision by which they could conduct a search.

Meloyan said she still doesn’t understand why she was apprehended and only added that she and Elibegova were interviewed as suspects, but refused to testify.
