Baku/15.02.22/Turan: The Interior Ministry has confirmed reports of the detention of Eldar Amir, the head of the secretariat of National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan (NASA).
The Interior Ministry press service reported Tuesday that Amirov was detained by officers of the Department for Combating Organized Crime.
