ArmInfo.Baku will raise the  issue of Azerbaijani saboteurs Dilham Askerov and Shahbaz Guliyev  serving their sentences in Artsakh at the OSCE PA in Kyrgyzstan.   

According to the First Deputy Speaker of the Milli Majlis  (parliament) of Azerbaijan, Bahar Muradova, the issue of Dilham  Askerov and Shahbaz Guliyev is constantly raised in the framework of  international events, appeals are made for the release of  Azerbaijanis convicted by the laws of the "illegal regime."  "Unfortunately, there is no progress in the issue of their release.  Without concrete mechanisms and real pressure, voiced opinions remain  unheard. Nevertheless, I believe we should not allow that the issue  is removed from the agenda. Azerbaijan will keep the issue in the  focus of attention. And it is necessary to try to take serious  measures to return to their homes the people who have limited  mobility in their country, "said Muradova.

To recall, on 29 June 2014, Shahbaz Jalal oghli Guliyev(1968), Dilham  Gardashkhan oghli Askerov(1960) and Hasan Hasanov illegally  penetrated into the territory of NKR having with them arms and  ammunition and  attempted a sabotage attack. They were spying and  even kidnapped minor Smbat Tsakanayn, a citizen of NKR on 4 July, who  was later  found with deadly wounds to the head.  Afterwards, on 11   July, on the  Vardenis-Karvachar road, Hasanov murdered a resident  of Yerevan  Sargis Abrahamyan (born in 1971) and wounded Karine  Davtyan, a  resident of Dzoraghbyur village on the grounds of  national hatred.  He  was killed showing armed resistance to the  Armenian forces.  The  other two raiders were arrested.  Shahbaz  Guliyev, 46, and Dilham  Askerov, 54, were charged under the NKR  Criminal Code's Article 316  (spying), Article 350 part 2 (violation  of the NKR's border by an  organized group), Article 245 part 3  (illegal carrying of arms and  ammunition), Article 129 part 3 point  1 (kidnapping, actions against  a minor with the use of arms),  Article 103 part 2 points 3,7,14 (murder combined with kidnapping by  an organized group out of ethnic  hatred) and articlesfull 33 and 103  part 1 point 14 (attempted murder of  two or more people by an  organized group out of ethnic hatred).
