    HEAD OF UNION OF ARMENIANS OF RUSSIA TO PARTICIPATE IN PROCESS OF RELEASE OF RUSSIAN SAILORS ARRESTED IN NIGERIA

    MOSCOW, AUGUST 24. ARMINFO.

    Head of the Union of Armenians of Russia, UN Good Will Ambassador
    Ara Abrahamyan will participate in the process of release of Russian
    sailors arrested in Nigeria. According to Gazeta.ru, today Ara
    Abrahamyan leaves for Nigeria on a special mission.

    According to the source, it is expected that his personal ties and
    the previous experience of dealing with African governments will help
    achieving release of 11 Russian sailors from custody. The sailors
    of African Pride vessel have been kept at an African prison for two
    years already charged with contraband. On August 5 the Nigerian court
    made a decision that the Russians can be released under pledge and
    warranty of the Russian Embassy. The source does not rule out that
    the tactics used when releasing the Armenian pilots from the prison
    in Equatorial Guinea will be used.

    The Armenian pilots working in that country on AH12 plane registered
    in Armenia were imprisoned charged with attempted state coup and
    espionage. Malabo Court sentenced the crew commander to 24 and
    the pilots to 14 years of imprisonment. They were kept in the
    prison one year and then were granted amnesty by the president of
    that country. Before release of the pilots Ara Abrahamyan visited
    Equatorial Guinea. According to some data, he was empowered by
    the Armenian Government to undertake some social and economic and
    financial commitments to that country. After the commitments were
    fulfilled, the Armenian pilots were released. What was the cost of
    their released remained unknown, Gazeta.ru writes.
