The Russians turned out to be more humane than the relatives of Khayal and the leadership of the State Migration Service (SMS)

On Tuesday morning, the State Migration Service (SMS) deported from Azerbaijan a Russian citizen, Khayal Vasiliev Elshadovich, born in 2003, who has lived in Sumgayit for the last 10 years, in the house of his paternal grandparents. The fact that Vasiliev lives in Azerbaijan without an official permit and the period of stay of a foreigner in the country has long ended, the guy's aunt told the police. The police detained Vasiliev, transferred him to the temporary detention facility of the State Migration Service, and the SMS deported the Azerbaijani from the country without the right to return for five years.

Khayal has no relatives in Russia, except for his father Elshad Shammedov, who is serving a long prison sentence, the guy has nowhere to live. His mother died in early childhood. A homeless child was found on winter street by human rights activist Gregory Vinter, he saved the boy, then helped to identify him in an orphanage where Khayal was not taught to read and write.

In 2013, his relatives in Azerbaijan sold their house to bring Khayal to his father's homeland at the age of ten. After 10 years of living in the city of Sumgayit, during which relatives corrected the boy's Russian passport, they actually expelled him from the country, not fulfilling the compromise proposal of the Migration Service in order to save Khayal from deportation and mandatory conscription into the belligerent Russian army.

Turan reported on this story in an article “Relatives of Khayal Vasiliev ask the president to save the orphan”

According to Mushvig Abbasov,  relative of Khayal,  they did not have the money to pay a fine for violating Migration legislation, and to buy air tickets for Khayal's departure to Georgia and return to Sumgayit. If he crossed the state border and returned back, there would be a legitimate opportunity to leave him in Azerbaijan, and then get citizenship of our country, at his request. But the family did not find the money and the Migration Service deported Khayal. And the house of Vasiliev's grandparents in Sumgayit went to relatives. According to human rights activist Gregory Vinter, Khayal's Azerbaijani relatives are interested in deporting the guy in order to get his house. In an interview with Turan, Mushvig Abbasov denies this version.

Khayal’s aunt, Salima Suleymanli also informed Turan about the inability to pay for air tickets and a fine, as a result of which the SMS, violating the promise to allow the guy to live in his father's homeland, expelled him from the country.

The official response of the State Migration Service to Turan's request in the case of Khayal Vasiliev, has a lot of information about the laws prohibiting them from informing third parties about illegal migrants temporarily held in isolation. The official response does not express the state's sympathy for an Azerbaijani in trouble without a profession and housing in Russia. The SMS calmly sent him to the Russian Federation, and without the right to return for five years, knowing about the danger of Khayal's conscription to the war in Ukraine.

The day before in frosty Moscow, Khayal, hungry and dressed in light clothes was sheltered by strangers. Human rights activist Gregory Vinter called on representatives of the Moscow diaspora to help the young man. The guy asked for help at the airport, not knowing where to go. The young man does not know exactly where he is and how long he will be allowed to be with random people; he does not know what to do next. According to Russian citizen quoted by Moscow journalists, a human rights activists in Moscow helped Khayal because "the guy is not adapted to life and can't even read and write."  According to the person who sheltered Khayal, the young Azerbaijani wants to return to Azerbaijan, where all his relatives live.

The resolution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan on administrative punishment dated November 16 states that the head of the Migration Department, Gerai Nuriyev, drew up a protocol on a Russian citizen, born in 2003, Khayal Vasilyev. When reviewing the protocol on an administrative offense, it was revealed that Vasiliev lives on the territory of Azerbaijan with an invalid document.

The resolution states that according to Article 575.1.2 of the Administrative Code of Azerbaijan, Vasiliev must be administratively expelled from the country with payment of a fine of 400 manats within 90 days, and the right to enter the Republic of Azerbaijan must be restricted to 5 years. A complaint may be filed with a higher authority (official) or with a court within ten days from the date of issuance of a copy of the decision, the resolution says. A human rights activist from Cherepovets, Gregory Vinter, who has been helping Khayal since 2008, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that he was trying to get a young man to live in Russia as an orphan with Russian citizenship. However, according to him, this was refused without any reference to the law.

"It turns out that the 20-year-old boy found himself in a stalemate - neither Azerbaijan, where his relatives are located, nor Russia, where he has no citizenship. It is good that he met kind people at the airport, but what awaits him next without means of livelihood, without the skills to read and write? It is even scary to think!"  Vinter said, calling on the diaspora in Moscow to help Khayal Vasiliev.
