October 17, 2013 - 12:35 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Azerbaijani embassy to Moscow is preparing a note
to the Russian Foreign Ministry with a demand to allow the consulate
workers of Azerbaijani diplomatic mission to see Orkhan Zeynalov,
news.az reported.
Zeynalov is suspected of murdering 25-year-old Yegor Sherbakov. The
murder caused mass riots in Moscow's south.
"We will demand the consulate support to a person who is suspected
of murder. He will be visited by a lawyer and when necessary an
interpreter. Everything must proceed in a legal way", the Azerbaijani
ambassador to Moscow, Polad Bulbuloglu said.
According to him, a number of violations were committed during
Zeynalov's arrest. He also characterized the coverage of events in
Russian media outlets as "hysteria".
The Azerbaijani singer and diplomat noted that "only a court will
decide whether Zeynalov is guilty". Bulbuloglu noted that this was
a domestic scuffle and murder that occurs in big cities every day.
He noted that an Azerbaijani was found stabbed to death in Moscow on
October 16.
"A murder on a national ground, just because a person does not have
a Slavic appearance is not rare", the Azerbaijani ambassador said.
The Biryulyovo district made headlines on October 13 after thousands
of antimigrant protesters stormed a local vegetable warehouse, where
many labor migrants work, and clashed with police.
That incident followed the killing of a Russian man by a suspected
migrant from the Caucasus.
On October 14, police arrested more than 1,200 migrant workers
in Biryulyovo. On Tuesday, police arrested an Azerbaijani citizen
suspected in the killing of the Russian man. A court in Moscow has
closed the vegetable warehouse in Biryulyovo for 90 days.
