Azeri Loggers Set Free - Without Punishment!



Remember a couple of days back, when three Azerbaijanis were arrested for attempting to steal timber from Armenia? Well, they've been released - without paying the $2,000 fine!
The three Azeri citizens of Georgia who were arrested five days ago in the territory of Armenia have been set free and sent to their home in Sadakhlo. Nevertheless, the Azeris have been set free without paying the sum, due to an agreement reached between the Armenian and Georgian border keepers.

One of the Azeris, Hussein Mamedov, informed agency "Trend" that the attitude of the Armenians towards them was good. "We spent three days in the detachment 'Stepanavan' where we were taken. And I cannot complain of any case of bad treatment".
Hmmm. What could be the political motivation for releasing criminals without any punishment?
