We hope that the investigation and criminal case will lead to concrete results,” the prosecutor general told AZERTAC during his visit to Ankara, Türkiye, News.Az reports.
Aliyev stated that expert examinations have confirmed that Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg, Russia, lost their lives as a result of torture, beatings, and severe injuries.
He noted that Azerbaijan’s prosecution authorities have launched a criminal case regarding the Yekaterinburg incidents and are maintaining regular contact with Russia’s Investigative Committee and Prosecutor General’s Office.
“Although Russia considers the victims its citizens, Azerbaijan does not recognize dual citizenship - therefore, we regard them as our citizens,” the prosecutor general added.
