The Azerbaijani www.aze.az news website informs that on June 20, the Azerbaijani State Telegraph Agency got a letter from 14-year-old Davit Davtyan informing that he could not get an education in Armenia and couldn’t overcome the obstacles that had been put in his way and therefore “he seeks his salvation outside Armenia.”
And on June 22, the same AzerTAc received the letter of Davit’s mother, Felmira Davtyan. Felmira asked for help from governments of different countries, including Azerbaijani government, also from Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the non-governmental organizations and mass media of Azerbaijan. Felmira wrote, “I was kept in prison for 666 days on cooked up allegations of $300 bribery and humiliated in all possible ways. I will not live in the country where such an action has been organized, they have put my and the neighboring country’s president Ilham Aliyev’s photos in black frames under slogans ‘Together’ and ‘Bribery.’ Rescue us from this hell, from the country, in the prison of which I was tortured for 666 days. I was freed only thanks to the help of the civilized countries. And although I was freed, I am denied leaving the country for another 666 days. Rescue us from the state, where my talented boy, an author of 7 books, is denied the right to education.”
At the end of that letter seasoned with offenses to the Armenian state and culture, F. Davtyan made public her future plan, “This country condemns my children and me to hunger, stealing everything from us. And if we are miraculously alive in 666 days, they will kill us, anyway, and they will be acquitted as if it has been a self-defense. They can libel us at any moment. To me, examination of the Armenian ethnos is as important as the events that took place in 1915 in Turkey. One can easily prove a theorem that has been once proved. I think that it is clear why I cannot leave this country. Save me!”
Aravot has already informed that Felmira (Femida) Davtyan, a 52-year-old resident of the town of Ijevan and a former dean of the correspondence faculty at the Ijevan subsidiary of Yerevan State University, was convicted to 3.5-year imprisonment of taking a $300 bribe from a student. Femida has been at liberty since February 10, 2011. She was granted amnesty, but she has to see an officer of the Alternative Sentencing Agency and sign her name in a respective register till 2013. According to the law, she can be absent from the country for a short period of time, in case of being absent for a longer period of time, she will be declared wanted. F. Davtyan intended to commit an act of self-immolation on March 8 in Yerevan, but police officers prevented that attempt of hers.
