Baku/22.12.22/Turan: The Chairman of the Caucasian Muslims Office (CMO), Sheikhulislam Allahshukur Pashazade, sent a letter to Pope Francis about the situation on the Lachin-Khankendi road. Pashazade shares the concern of the Pope of Rome with the situation in the South Caucasus, as well as the persistence of threats to ensure lasting peace and security in the region.
He called the statements of the Armenian Catholicos Garegin about the closure of the Lachin-Khankyandi road disinformation. This road is not closed to the residents of Karabakh, and the organization of the movement of vehicles is the responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping forces.
The truth is that in Karabakh, for which the peacekeepers are responsible, there is illegal mining in gold and copper-molybdenum deposits. Azerbaijani activists demand to put an end to this and create conditions for monitoring these mines, to which Russian peacekeepers do not give consent, the message says.
This week the Pope called for the opening of the Lachin corridor. -05D-

On Friday, the Baku Serious Crimes Court continued the proceedings in the case of opposition politician Tofiq Yagublu. Yagublu's lawyers requested the summons of additional witnesses, including members of the National Council of Democratic Forces, opposition activists, and Yagublu’s wife, Maya Yagublu. Contrary to the prosecution's claims that Yagublu was involved in handing over money to facilitate a visa for Elshan Huseynov in the Zabrat settlement, his lawyers argued that he was actually attending a National Council meeting in the Pirshaghi settlement at that time. Witnesses can confirm this. The court partially granted the request, deciding to call four additional witnesses. The next court session is scheduled for October 18.
