The Head of the Advisory Body of the World Azerbaijanis Congress (WAC) and one of the leaders of the movement for the sovereignty of South Azerbaijan, Mahmudali Chrhraganli, has left Washington for Baku. According to informed sources, the Azerbaijani Embassy in the USA has not issued him a visa. Despite this, Chehraganli decided to fly to Baku.
The head of the WAC Sabir Rustamkhanl told Turan, that he is having talks with the Azerbaijani authorities to avoid "trouble" after Chehraganli will arrive in Baku.
The aircraft will arrive in Azerbaijan's capital late at night.
Earlier, the authorities of Azerbaijan deported Chehraganli from Baku airport. It happened in 2006, and in 2012 he was not allowed in Turkey.
The reason for the ban on the entry is the demand of Tehran from Baku not to support the "separatists" who want the collapse of Iran. -06B-
