    The Coordinating Council of Prosecutor Generals of CIS Member States
    suggested the General Prosecutor's Office of Azerbaijan to discuss the
    written request made by the RA General Prosecutor's Office's on legal
    assistance concerning the criminal case initiated on the death of the
    RA citizen Manvel Saribekyan who had been killed in October 2010 in
    Baku and to provide information about the results to the Coordinating
    Council and the RA General Prosecutor's Office.

    Under the aegis of the International Committee of the Red Cross on
    November 4, 2010 the body of the citizen of the Republic of Armenia
    Manvel Mamikon Saribekyan killed in October 2010 in Baku was returned
    to Armenia. On November 5, 2010 a criminal case was initiated case
    according to the RA Criminal Code Article 104, parts 5 and 13 (murder
    committed with particular cruelty and out of motives of national, race
    or religious hate or fanatism) by the Investigation Division of
    Tsambarak of the RA Police. The preliminary investigation of the
    criminal case was tasked to the Investigation Department of the
    National Security Service adjunct to the RA Government.

    In order to carry out comprehensive and complete investigation and
    guided by the Minsk Convention `On Legal Assistance and Legal
    Relations in Civil, Family and Criminal Matters' 22 January 1993, the
    RA Prosecutor General on December 14, 2010 sent a letter to the
    Prosecutor General of Azerbaijan Mr. Zakir Bekir with the request to
    provide assistance to the investigation of the mentioned criminal
    case, in particular to inform whether any investigation on the case of
    Manvel Mamikon Saribekyan's violent death had been carried out by the
    Investigation Bodies of Azerbaijan. The General Prosecutor's Office of
    the Republic of Armenia had also assured that the received data and
    documents would be used only in the framework of the investigation.

    The General Prosecutor's Office of Azerbaijan did not reply to the
    request made by the RA General Prosecutor's Office. Taking into
    consideration that the reply is of vital importance for the
    preliminary investigation of the criminal case on April 5, 2011 the
    Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan sent a letter to the Chairman of
    the Coordinating Council of Prosecutor Generals of the CIS Member
    States and the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri
    Chaika asking to assist in receiving a response to the written
    request.

    The Coordinating Council of Prosecutor Generals of CIS Member States
    responded to the RA General Prosecutor's Office's request and
    suggested the General Prosecutor's Office of Azerbaijan to provide
    information about the results to both the Coordinating Council and the
    RA General Prosecutor's Office.
