ArmInfo. Putting citizens of Armenia on Interpol’s wanted list by
the Azerbaijani Bureau of Interpol is nothing but speculation says
Vardan Yeghiazaryan, Police Colonel, Head of the Armenian Central
National Bureau (CNB) of Interpol, in response to ArmInfo’s question.
Azerbaijan put nearly 50 citizens of Armenia on the wanted list 2
years ago with allegations of terrorism and other heavy crimes.
Armenia responded adequately then, he said. Colonel Yeghiazaryan
mentioned that the Interpol General Secretariat sent a special
commission to Armenia and Azerbaijan then to get first hand view of
the problem. The commission recommended the two parties to refrain
from such steps. "The commission declared that putting persons on the
wanted list is politicized and contradicts Article 3 of the Interpol
Statute. All this stopped their search by Interpol," he said.
