Baku. Viktoria Dementieva – APA. The Azerbaijanis, who are on board the ship detained in India, may leave the ship anytime they want, spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov told APA.

Polukhov said the Azerbaijanis on board the Turkish ship have document called “seaman’s passport”.
“With this document they may leave the ship and return to motherland anytime they want. But as far as we know, they can not return because of financial problems. They have not received salary for their work,” he said.

Polukhov said that Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has information that the passports given to Turkish agency to prolong the work visa have not been returned to the Azerbaijanis.
“Azerbaijani embassy in Ankara appealed to Turkish Foreign Ministry in connection with this. Turkish Foreign Ministry promised to solve the problem soon,” he said.

The ship owned by Turkey’s ECE A Tanker Group was detained in India because of technical failure. The crew consists of 10 Turkish citizens, 5 Azerbaijanis and 1 Georgian.
