Russia believes Lapshin’s case will be solved fairly
Russia believes Alexander Lapshin’s case will be solved fairly and in an unbiased manner in connection with the norms of internal law and bilateral agreements signed with Azerbaijan, Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan Vladimir Dorokhin told Interfax-Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan has fulfilled its obligations under the agreement signed with Russia, and the embassy was notified in time of the arrest of the Russian citizen, the ambassador noted.

“On February 9, the next day after our request was sent, a consular officer met with Lapshin. We saw that Lapshin has no complaints about detention conditions, and he has already provided with a lawyer,” Dorokhin added.

Alexander Lapshin is a citizen of several countries and has had a criminal conspiracy with Armenians living in the occupied Azerbaijani territories. He also illegally visited these territories.

Lapshin is accused of violating Azerbaijani laws on state border in April 2011 and October 2012.

On Jan. 17, Alexei Stuk, deputy prosecutor general of Belarus, issued a ruling on Lapshin’s extradition to Azerbaijan. Lapshin was brought to Azerbaijan on Feb. 7.
