Investigation launches against Turkish intellectuals visiting Artsakh
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavusoglu, who is in Azerbaijan, spoke to reporters about the four Turkish intellectuals who visited Nagorno Karabakh on September 22. It should be noted that the prosecutor's office decided to detain Ufuk Uras, the founder member of the Green Party of Turkey and the leader of the Ankara's Opinion Platform, writer and publicist Sait Cetinoglu, journalists Ali Bayramoghlu and Erol Katieoglu, and announced international intelligence against them. According to Turkish news website "Haberler", Ankara is concerned that the abovementioned persons, without having Azerbaijan's permission, and without informing the Turkish authorities, left for Nagorno-Karabakh. "Illegally entering the Azerbaijani territory is a crime, -said Cavusoglu. - Especially if we consider how sensitive the Karabakh problem is. When the surrounding 7 regions are still in occupation. That is why we started an investigation against those who left for Karabakh after Azerbaijan's investigation announcement. They are already called to the court to give testimony. Those people even called me, saying that they did not realize that they were committing a crime. My answer was that they had to explain it to Azerbaijani authorities. In the end, they are not schoolchildren. Although they mentioned that while being in Karabakh, they defended Azerbaijan, criticized the "Khojalu massacre" and expressed ideas on Karabakh conflict, supporting Azerbaijan. Nevertheless, illegally entering the territory is a crime." Details are available here
