Armenian Prosecutor General`s Office is taking steps to change  procedures in classification in international wanted list in CIS

This is said in a statement of the Prosecutor General of Armenia in response to the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan that these three members of the European Parliament declared internationally wanted and in respect of  which a criminal case is opened on the ground of their visits to  Artsakh and implementation of the observation mission during  constitutional referendum in NKR .

On this ground, the General Prosecutor of Armenia takes steps to  prevent the launch of the process of Azerbaijani requests on  declaring internationally wanted those who visited Nagorno-Karabakh. 

At the same time, the Armenian Prosecutor General's Office notes that  the procedure for declaring the international wanted in the CIS space  has no such restrictions. In this regard, the Armenian Prosecutor  General's Office has taken steps to incorporate the restrictions on  the procedure of declaring internationally wanted the persons in the  CIS on the basis of their race, ethnicity or political views.
