Baku-07.04.06
Yerevan, April 7. /Mediamax/. Karen Avanesian, 19 might be forcibly
deported from Great Britain to Baku.
Mediamax reports quoting its sources in London that illegal emigrant Karen
Avanesian, who arrived in Great Britain three years ago at the age of 16,
failed to prove his right to have political asylum in this country and the
British authorities decided to deport him.
According to his relatives, coming to Great Britain 3 years ago, Avanesian
attended school and lived on welfare as he had no work permit. Karen has a
mixed family. His Azerbaijani father left the family when his son was a
little boy.
Since Avanesian was born in Nagorno Karabakh which de-jure is considered
to be part of Azerbaijan, the British authorities decided that his
motherland is Azerbaijan and resolved to deport him to Baku. Karen
Avanesian was told that on April 12 he would be taken to London-Moscow
plane. From Russian capital he will be sent to Azerbaijan.
As Mediamax learned, Karen Avanesian is in Tinsley House detention centre
at London Gatwick airport. According to British laws, a person cannot be
deported to a country where he might be tortured. --0--
