I like this because it makes Azerbaijan looks idiotic.
But why Lapshin?
There are hundreds if not thousands of Europeans who have travelled to Artsakh yet Azerbaijan has not asked for their extradition.
Well, that’s Aliyev and Azerbaijan for you: they’re crazy. As crazy as Erdogan and Turkey.
And the Armenians of Artsakh are supposed to live under the rule of these Azeri nutjobs?
Lol, Azeke playing nounsence comedy proving their worthlessness in front of world.
Probably they don’t have enough innocent intelligence in their prison.
The country who doesn’t have an entelect to attract the world they use their unconditional fulishness to surprise the world.
They are sticky as a tar and worthless as a weed.
I expect this kind of thing from Azerbaijan. But it is outrageous that the Belarus govt is going along with this extradition. Azerbaijan has no right in my view to exercise jurisdiction over a person who is not an Azeri national and was not in Azerbaijan when arrested. How did the Azeri govt know that he was in Belarus?
Now as to Israel’s official position, you should know that Ksenia Svetlova represents an opposition party, the so-called Zionist Union. She does not officially represent our government. Maybe she is just operating on her own.
The report above mentions “Israeli senior officials” but it does not name anybody. So it makes one wonder whether there is really any official Israeli involvement.
This creates a bad precedent, people are going to be scared to visit NKR. The Armenian foreign ministry didn’t do anything at all. It’s a disgrace.
{The Armenian foreign ministry didn’t do anything at all. It’s a disgrace.}
Of course, everything that goes on in the world is always the fault of Armenian Government. If only the BarevaLoser was running things in RoA: then everything would be fine.
Alexander Lapshin is dual Israeli-Russian citizen.
Repeat Israeli citizen.
Not citizen of RoA.
In any other situation Israel would get their citizen out one way or another: they do it all the time.
But Israel and Azerbaijan and Belarus are all in one bed.
Israel wants to appease Aliyev, because Israel is selling $ billions worth of weaponry to Azerbaijan, and is currently trying to sell $ billions worth of Israeli Iron Dome. So Israel is sacrificing their own citizen.
None of RoA’s or NKR’s business.
Axeri oil man has no control over Israeli decision making body, and Mr. Lapshin faith. All these showcase showdown, who created by Axeri oil man and Mr. Natanyahoo is about satisfying both Israeli and Axeri opposition elements over military and oil deal between them, like Avery said “none of RoA and Artsakh business”!
