Family of Azerbaijani hostages to appeal Putin
The family of Dilgam Asgarov and Shahbaz Guliyev, who are being held in Armenian-occupied Nagorno-Karabakh will again appeal to Vladimir Putin, the President of the Russian Federation, Sahib Musayev, Dilgam Asgarov`s brother told, AzVision.az

The appeal will be submitted to the Embassy of Russia in Azerbaijan, he said.

`Putin, the President of Russia can play a key role in the liberation of the hostages. He should take measures to protect my brother`s rights as he is a citizen of Russia. If Putin wishes, Dilgam will be released in a minute. We have already appealed to the Russian government. Nevertheless, it did not help.

However, we do not lose our hopes. We tend to appeal to Putin again. I will appeal to the Embassy of Russia in Azerbaijan`, S.Musayev said.

D. Asgarov`s brother said he wants to meet with Vladimir Dorokhin, the Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan.

`We want to deliver our complaints to the ambassador, but the Embassy does not consider the complaints. I personally was in the Embassy of Russia in Azerbaijan a while ago. I appealed to make phone call to my brother. The embassy did not listen to my appeal`, he added.

Note, in July, 2014 Russian citizen Dilgam Asgarov and Azerbaijani citizen Shahbaz Guliyev were taken hostage by the Armenian soldiers on their way to Kalbajar - their homeland which was occupied by Armenia in 1993.
