"A few days ago, I went to the Russian Orthodox church in Baku. I prayed and lit a candle for Artur. I asked forgiveness for not keeping my promise. May your soul rest in peace, Artur. May the children of this region enjoy a more peaceful future," Israeli Ambassador in Azerbaijan George Deek wrote on Twitter.
"I was deeply moved. I promised to help. We took the boy’s name. It was Artur Mayakov. Already that evening we began to see if there’s anything we could do. But I couldn’t keep my promise. Two days later, Artur died from his injuries. He was 13 years old. I was heart-broken," the ambassador also noted.
