Roman Teryan and Artur Apresyan, who fled Armenia and arrived in
Azerbaijan as a sign of protest against [Armenian President] Robert
Kocharyan’s regime and are currently being held at the remand centre
of the Azerbaijani Ministry of National Security, have officially
appealed to Arzu Abdullayeva, chairwoman of the Azerbaijani National
Committee of the Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly, to help them move to a
third country.

Abdullayeva told ANS that she had received the appeal. She asked the
National Security Ministry to answer numerous questions and receive
those Armenians. On Monday [10 May], she will ask the UN office in
Baku and other international organizations for help.
