A criminal case is initiated in Azerbaijan for German Sterligov, the Russian businessman.
According to the Azerbaijani mass-media this has been declared in the joint statement of the Ministry of Exterior and the General Prosecutor's Office. German Sterligov moved to Nagorni Karabakh in July 2015 with his family justifying this by the fact that "fabulous people are living in Artsakh and they have fabulous living principles". He had confuted the information that he is hiding from the Russian justice due to his links with nationalist organisations.
According to him, he started to be victimized after issue of the book "From Adam to Putin". To prove that he has no problem with the Russian justice Sterligov left his family in Karabakh for several days and left for Russia, however, a criminal case had been initiated there under a personal file of an Israeli citizen, accusing him in injuriousness. Despite that, Sterligov returned to his family in Nagorni Karabakh on July 24, where he intends to live so far.
