violence of the rights of Azerbaijanis temporary living in Ukraine, the
ambassador told APA.
He said that the meeting was effective.
“It was decided to improve the cooperation between the
Ministries of Justice of both countries and to organize bilateral visit of
experts to give thorough advice. Aleksandr Lavrinovich invited his Azerbaijani
counterpart Fikret Mammedov to Ukraine. We’ll deliver the invitation to the

makes negative impact on Azerbaijanis living there. He added that the embassy

“Near 500 thousand of Azerbaijanis live in Ukraine now. 20%
of them are the citizens of Ukraine and the rest are Azerbaijanis temporary
living here. The officers of the embassy are sent on an assignment to different
regions to study their problems. Personally I have met with Azerbaijanis
working in Troeshno market and talked to them on this issue”, he said.
The ambassador noted that he is going to meet with the
Ukrainian minister of Interior Affairs and his deputy next month. He will
demand to take appropriate measures to stop negative actions. The ambassador
said that he had discussed the problems of near 160 Azerbaijanis who are in
prison in Ukraine with the minister of justice.
“We consider the appeals of Azerbaijani prisoners who
prefer to be in jail in Azerbaijan. In such cases, the prisoner is handed to
the other side according the relevant law of the countries. There is no such
appeal at present”, he said.
Telet Aliyev added that the officers will be sent on an
assignment to the jails to study the detention conditions of Azeri prisoners
