[Presenter] A border trespasser has been detained in the Samkir
section of the Georgian-Azerbaijani state border when trying to
penetrate Azerbaijan's territory, the press service of the State Border
Service has reported. The trespasser had no ID card. A total of 9,000
Armenian drams [19 dollars], a piece of paper with the names of Ruslan
Basirli [who was arrested on charges of collaborating with Armenian
special services], Osman Alimuradov and Said Miriyev and their mobile
phone numbers, and Internet and e-mail addresses of the Yeni Fikir
[New Thought] youth organization were seized from the trespasser
who introduced himself as Georgian citizen (?Kurami Georgiyevich
Akhveldiani). The investigation established that he actually was
a resident of the Georgian town of Gori, (?Merabi Vakhtangovich
Dzhibutia), 49.
Dzhibutia said that he met Basirli and his interpreter Alimuradov in
Tbilisi on 28-29 July and then went to Armenia for a private business
trip, the State Border Service said in the report.
After returning from Armenia, he phoned home from Tbilisi and
his brother-in-law, (?Tamari Muxadze), told him that the Georgian
Prosecutor-General's Office and the special services were searching for
him in connection with the guests from Azerbaijan. Dzhibutia was afraid
of being brought to book. He decided to come to Azerbaijan and meet
Basirli to clarify the issue. He crossed the state border illegally
with help of a person named (?Georgiy) who had been introduced to
him by his friend (?Andro Chelidze).
The investigation department of the State Border Service instituted
legal proceedings against Dzhibutia on charges of illegal crossing
the state border. The investigation into the case has already ended
and he was arrested on 29 August under a ruling of Baku's Sabayil
district court.
