In an interview with the program Cətin Sual (difficult question) Turan agency said the head of the journalistic association Yeni Nasil Arif Aliyev, commenting on the prosecution of a blogger in Azerbaijan Alexander Lapshin.
Another State "Eastern Partnership" - Belarus, not having such problems extradited Lapshin. Given the violation of borders of Azerbaijan Lapshin, extradition had some legal basis.
