YEREVAN, MAY 25. ARMINFO. Officers of International Police in Italy detained the well-known Armenian publicist and writer Zoriy Balayan yesterday and released soon. According to the newspaper “Ayots Ashkhar” Balayan was detained in an Italian port Brindissi. It should be noted that the writer is on a tour on the board of the Armenian sailing vessel “Cilicia” built on the model of old Cilician vessels. Press Secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Hamlet Gasparyan informed ARMINFO that the Armenian party took measures on release of Balayan immediately after information on his detention was received. Several years ago, due to Azerbaijan’s efforts, the name of Zoriy Balayan was included in the lists of the International Police, however, it was withdrawn from these lists two years ago. As it is not the first time when law-enforcement bodies of other states find the name of Balayan in the “black list,” it is not ruled out that Azerbaijan sends them relevant false statement.
