Two Azerbaijanis who were on board Freedom Flotilla bound for Gaza with humanitarian cargo are not international activists, IHH representative - Turkish waqf, Orhan Shefik, who organized humanitarian aid to the Gaza, said.
Two Azerbaijani citizens Muharam Orujev and Garaoglan Guliyev were employees of the marine company, which was hired by organizers of the action. Azerbaijani citizens will return home from Israel on Sunday. Now they are in a Tel Aviv airport, the Israeli Interior Ministry Immigration Department said.

"We have still two citizens from Azerbaijan because they will have their flight only on Sunday. They are kept in the airport. There is a special place for the people who are willing and have to fly but they can not fly to the country. They are in the Ben Gurion Airport," the ministry said.

According to a source, Azerbaijani citizens have voluntarily agreed to leave Israel and fly directly to Baku, but not to Turkey, as many activists of Freedom Flotilla did.
