YEREVAN. – Extradition of blogger Alexander Lapshin to Baku is a cheap attempt of Lukashnko to thank Aliyev was the received award, head of RPA parliamentary group Vahram Baghdasaryan told reporters.

Lukashenko was seeking to thank Aliyev and, which is more important, to diversify energy supplies. In exchange for Azerabaijan’s affection he wanted to lobby Baku’s position before Vlarimir Putin.

“When he failed, he decided to turn to a cheap trick. We believe that this behavior contradicts positions of Belarus as the CSTO ally of Armenia and Russia,” Baghdasaryan added.
