The Head of the state yesterday commented on the situation around the return of exiled ex-minister and the leader of the oppositional Democratic Party Rasul Guliev. He noted that nobody could deny Rasul Guliev to arrive in Baku.

“How could we reject his arrival, if right now we are working on his extradition? He was arrested in Ukraine because Interpol issued an international search warrant for him. We contacted Ukraine asking to arrest him”, Aliyev said.

“Rasul Guliev is a criminal, one of the leaders of international mafia. Guliev is known for his criminal acts not only in Azerbaijan but also in other countries. That is why he should face a fair trial for his wrongdoings. We are waiting for him and will do our best for him to be put on a fair trial”, stated the President.
