Baku/07.09.23/ Turan: Three Armenian football players from Karabakh, detained on August 28 at the Lachyn border checkpoint, were released today after the expiration of administrative arrest for 10 days of arrest.
According to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan, accompanied by law enforcement officers, they were provided with a passage through the border checkpoint "Lachyn" to the territory of Armenia.

At the same time, the Azerbaijani Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit on charges of "inciting national hatred" and "insulting the national flag."
After the arrest, the players admitted their guilt and repented of what they had done. In this regard, the Azerbaijani Prosecutor's Office has released them from criminal prosecution. They were arrested administratively for 10 days for spreading their illegal actions on the Internet. ---06B---
