    Azg informed on September 10 that the Nigerian court decided to release
    12 Russian sailors charged with smuggling. Our newspaper also cited
    the words of Ara Abrahamian, Goodwill Ambassador of UNESCO, who said
    that the sailors will be released on Monday and will be waiting for
    the final decision of the court at RF Embassy to Nigeria or at the
    Russian Trade Office.

    RIA agency informed that the court decided to release the Russian
    sailors.

    "My representative in Nigeria and the new lawyer of the Russian
    sailors went to the prison to transfer them to RF Trade Office so
    that they can stay there until the court takes its final decision,"
    Ara Abrahamian said in his interview to Azg.

    Ara Abrahamian who closely cooperates with RF Foreign Ministry
    considers the release of the Russian sailors the victory of Russian
    diplomats. "No matter what the Nigerian court decided, the final
    decision is after the President of Nigeria," Mr. Abrahamian emphasized.

    RF Embassy prepared apartments and all the required furniture for
    the stay of the Russian sailors at the RF Trade Office in Lagos.
