The statement of the MFA Spokesperson Tigran Balayan
The Armenian authorities received a request from Shahin Mirzoev for temporary asylum, since as a member of Talish Cultural Council, Talish freedom movement, journalist at the “Tolishi Sado” newspaper, he was obliged to flee from Azerbaijan due to the persecutions against ethnic and religious minorities and gross violations of their rights, and to arrive to Armenia with his family.
Armenian authorities reacted positively to the request of Shahin Mirzoev.
