ArmInfo.The head of the European bureau of the Hay Dat ARF Dashnaktsutyun committee, Haspar Karampetyan does not have any prerequisitesto be wanted by Interpol, and the corresponding attempts of Azerbaijan are doomed to failure. This is highlighted in the statement of the European Bureau of the Hay Dat Committee.
The authors of the statement are sure that Interpol will refuse Azerbaijan in this matter. "Interpol previously refused to Azerbaijan in such appeals, which are exclusively political in nature," the statement said. According to the authors of the statement, Azerbaijan is trying to create an atmosphere of fear and distract the attention of the international community from the events timed to the 30th anniversary of the Karabakh movement, in particular, from the upcoming solemn event in the European Parliament.
In turn, Karapetyan himself, referring to the Azerbaijani initiative to declare him on international wanted list, considered them to be desperate Baku: "I must remind you that the deplorable fate of Azerbaijan's similar appeals to Interpol regarding the three European parliamentarians who visited Artsakh." He stressed that every citizen who wants to visit Artsakh has the right to do this despite the hysteria of Baku. Moreover, Karampetian noted, the European Union, as a structure that preaches freedom of human rights, encourages such visits. He noted that it would be better if Azerbaijan tackled its internal problems. Azerbaijan announced the international search of the head of the "Federation of European Armenians for Justice and Democracy" in Belgium, Gaspar Karampetyan, the head of the European Bureau of Hay Dat Committee. According to Azerbaijani media with reference to the Prosecutor General's Office of the country, he is charged with crimes on the grounds of articlesfull 281.2. (public appeals against the state) and 318.2. (illegal crossing of the state border of the Republic of Azerbaijan as part of an organized group). The department notes that in respect of Karampetian, on the basis of the court's decision, a preventive measure in the form of arrest was chosen. It is noteworthy that Karampetian "guilty" before the Azerbaijani authorities in the fact that he has repeatedly visited Nagorno Karabakh for the past four years, and increased its recognition in the international arena. These actions of Karampetian aroused the wrath of Baku, and he joined the ranks of those who became not only persona non grata in Azerbaijan, but will also be sought at the request of the Azerbaijani side through Interpol for allegedly illegal visit to Artsakh. Note that in the international search for Interpol at the request of Azerbaijan for visiting Artsakh are both prominent European politicians, internationally recognized figures of art and science, journalists, bloggers.
