Baku/31.01.14/Turan:
The Caucasian Centre of Peaceful Initiatives (CCPI) began action to
support the Armenian citizen, Mamikon Khojayan, who crossed on January
28 the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and was detained in the village of
Alibeili in Tovuz region. The NGO called on to sign a petition to the
presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia to return Khojayan. Detailed
information can be found on the link

65 years and he was conductor of the Armenian sabotage group. The
Armenian side claims that the 77-year-old Khojayan , is a resident of
the border village, and he entered the Azerbaijani side accidentally.
The International Committee of the Red Cross is dealing in this
matter. Earlier the CCPI conducted a similar campaign to liberate
Allahvardi Pelengov, an ethnic Azeri citizen of Georgia, who
accidentally crossed the border, and was arrested by Armenian border
guards. -06–
