David Babayan
Baku/28.09.23/Turan: The so-called "advisor to the Artsakh president" David Babayan has decided to turn himself in and surrender to the Azerbaijani authorities.
This, as Armenian media reports, is stated in a statement he circulated.
"You all know that I am blacklisted in Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani side demanded my arrival in Baku for a proper investigation. I made a decision to head today from Stepanakert to Shusha. This decision will naturally cause great pain, excitement and stress, first of all to my loved ones, but I am sure they will understand. My non-appearance or worse my escape will cause serious harm to our long-suffering people, to many people, and this I, as an honest man, worker, patriot and Christian, cannot allow," Babayan's statement said. -06В-
