Baku, 24 March: The management board of the federal national and
cultural autonomy of the Azerbaijanis, Azerros, has appealed to
Russian President Vladimir Putin over an attempt on the life of the
president of this organization and the head of the international
charity foundation Karabakh, Soyun Sadiqov.

The head of the autonomy is making efforts to develop and maintain
stable relations between Russia and Azerbaijan and takes an active
part in helping Russia’s Azerbaijanis resolve their problems, the
appeal said. As head of the Karabakh charity foundation, Sadiqov
is also actively involved in attempts on all levels to resolve the
Karabakh conflict.

The Azerbaijanis urged President Putin to instruct the appropriate
authorities to punish the culprits. “We are confident that the
authorities will not allow the repetition of such provocation that
could shatter the balance in inter-ethnic relations,” the appeal said.
