Azerbaijan is going to submit numerous complaints against Russian businessman, philanthropist and public figure German Sterligov, who allegedly illegally crossed the Azerbaijani state border, Sterligov’s Armenian attorney Arthur Hayrapetov told Armenian News – NEWS.am

“Azerbaijani authorities have filed a criminal case against Sterligov and me for allegedly crossing their border illegally (Azerbaijani authorities accuse Sterligov’s Armenian attorney of having instigated him to move exactly to Karabakh). Our stance is as follows: we don’t care about the measures taken by the Azerbaijani authorities, since both me and German Sterligov consider Nagorno-Karabakh as a historically Armenian land, the entrance to which requires no permit from the Azerbaijani authorities,” Hayrapetov stressed.

The attorney also said some Azerbaijani journalists phoned him a few hours ago, inquiring about Sterligov’s future fate.

Sterligov has recently been frequently threatened in Russia, this making the businessman leave the territory of Russia for an uncertain period.

Hayrapopetov declined to respond to the question on whether German Sterligov has relocated to Karabakh permanently or temporarily. “I urge my fellow citizens to support him in this difficult period of life, since he needs this very much. Sterligov told me he is optimistic, since the Shushi population has given him and his family a very warm welcome,” the attorney said.

He also noted, that regardless of the businessman’s decision to return to Russia, Sterligov plans to establish in Karabakh a residence like Sloboda (Sterligov has established this residence in Moscow and invites all Orthodox Christians to come and live there).  

On June 6, several Russian media disseminated information that German Sterligov, businessman and famous farmer, who also created the Russian Mercantile Exchange Alice, has sold all his property in his famous Sloboda, leaving Russia for Karabakh.

Artsakh authorities confirmed the businessman’s visit to Karabakh.
