Russian Blogger Alexander Lapshin asked the Armenian Defense Ministry to visit the border with Azerbaijan.

During the current visit to Armenia he intends to visit Syunik and Meghri, as well as border villages of Tavush province, Lapshin told reporters on Tuesday in Yerevan.

However, Alexander Lapshin is not going to visit Karabakh in order not to give rise to speculations that could affect the fate of the blogger Mehman Huseynov.

“I know Mehman’s brother, Emin, who lives in Switzerland. The Azerbaijani authorities should release Mehman,” Lapshin noted.

Azerbaijani blogger Mehman Huseynov was convicted on a falsified charge and sentenced to two years in prison.
