Baku. Hafiz Heydarov, Viktoria Dementyeva â€“ APA. An operation group of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry plans to visit Azerbaijan next week, chief of the Department to Combat Cybercrimes and Human Trafficking Yuri Kucher told APA exclusively. He said the group would stay in Azerbaijan for three or four days and carry out investigation together with the local law-enforcement bodies.
â€œThe investigations will be carried out within the opportunities offered by the Azerbaijani side. We are working on the documents for legal assistance. It is still early to make a detailed statement,â€ he said.

Kucher also touched on the cooperation between the Azerbaijani law-enforcement bodies and Ukrainian Interior Ministry.
â€œThe relations with the Azerbaijani law-enforcement bodies continue basing on the mutual understanding and support. The joint investigation into the â€œblack transplantationâ€ has been discussed today during the phone talk between the deputy interior ministers of the two countries. The sides exchanged views on the necessary measures for prevention of the crime,â€ he said.
Yuri Kucher also noted that untrue reports spread in the media on his behalf.
â€œReports spread on my behalf that Ukraine is not satisfied with the cooperation with the Azerbaijani side concerning the organ mafia. This is not so, because no activities have been carried out between Azerbaijan and Ukraine,â€ he said.

Asked in what Azerbaijani clinics the â€œblack transplantationsâ€ were performed, Yuri Kucher said:
â€œAt this moment one Azerbaijani clinic is mentioned in this case. Azerbaijani law-enforcement bodies can publicize it if they want at the end of the investigations,â€ he said.
