“We handed the note yesterday,” Azerbaijani embassy in Russia said, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti. Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu said in his interview with Dojd TV channel that Azerbaijan demands Orkhan Zeynalov to be provided with lawyers and if necessary with a translator.
“If it is proved that Zeynalov was involved in the murder, he deserves the highest punishment,” he said.
The murder of 25-year-old Egor Sherbakov by a Caucasian on October 10 caused protest of the local residents. Hundreds of Russian nationalists and skinheads attacked Biryoza trade center and Pokrov fruit store and beat to death Caucasians and Central Asians. Special police forces were deployed at the site. The skinheads showed resistance to the police. They seriously damaged shops, facilities and automobiles in the trade center. A large number of migrants and local residents were injured as a result of incidents committed by Russian nationalists.
Azerbaijani citizen Orkhan Zeynalov, who is suspected of killing Sherbakov, was detained in Kolomna, Moscow on October 15 and brought to Moscow by helicopter. During the preliminary interrogation he confessed to the murder.
