The Caucasian Centre of Peaceful Initiatives (CCPI) began action to support the Armenian citizen, Mamikon Khojayan, who crossed on January 28 the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and was detained in the village of Alibeili in Tovuz region. The NGO called on to sign a petition to the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia to return Khojayan. Detailed information can be found on the link http://southcaucasus.com/index.php?p=anons2901.
According to the Azerbaijani side, Khojayan is 65 years and he was conductor of the Armenian sabotage group. The Armenian side claims that the 77-year-old Khojayan , is a resident of the border village, and he entered the Azerbaijani side accidentally. The International Committee of the Red Cross is dealing in this matter.
Earlier the CCPI conducted a similar campaign to liberate Allahvardi Pelengov, an ethnic Azeri citizen of Georgia, who accidentally crossed the border, and was arrested by Armenian border guards. –06В--
