A blogger criticizing Baku  expelled from Russia to Azerbaijan

Moscow/27.08.19/Turan: The Djerzhinsky District Court of St. Petersburg agreed with the police and decided to expel blogger Elvin Isaev, criticizing the leadership of Azerbaijan.

Fontanka.ru reported, Isaev was found guilty of violating the regime of stay in Russia. He is currently being held in a foreign detention center.

However, Isaev himself claims that he has Russian citizenship and he received his passport in 2001 in North Ossetia. However, the police submitted to the court a statement of the Consulate General of Azerbaijan from 2015 that Isaev did not have Russian citizenship.

Isaev refused his passport 18 years ago and legally obtained Russian citizenship, said Isaev"s lawyer. According to the database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Isaev really received citizenship in 2001, and his passport, "replaced by a new one" in 2014, is valid.

Isaev recalled that his two minor children, his wife, mother and brothers, live in St. Petersburg, and he simply has nowhere to live in Azerbaijan. According to Fontanka, all of the blogger"s many relatives live legally in St. Petersburg with Russian documents in their hands. Moreover, Isaev regularly visits his homeland; he visited Baku and Lankaran over the past four years about once every two months.

Isaev is known as an active blogger who sharply criticizes the Azerbaijani authorities. -02D-
