 | Border incident culprit arrested |
A Georgian border guard, Vakhtang Sirualidze, who killed an Azeri national, Fuzuzli Husseinov outside the Sinig Korpu frontier point on the Azeri-Georgian border on Monday, was arrested Friday. The convict proved to be a Georgian citizen of Armenian lineage, a MP, a member of the Azerbaijan-Georgian inter-parliamentary commission Zalimkhan Yagub told AssA-Irada Friday.
According to him, Georgian President Shevardnadze has been deeply concerned with the incident and fired all the personnel of the border point for alleged involvement in bribery. The March 5 incident is also believed to have been provoked by the fact that a native of Sadighli village of Marneuli province of Georgia Fuzuli Husseinov was being squeezed to pay bribe for stamp to be attached to his passport.
Mr. Yagub stressed that allocation of new passports to the Azeri population in Georgia is retarding with every obstacle involved.*
