YEREVAN, June 11. /ARKA/. Equatorial Guinea’s Ambassador to Russia Fausto Abesso Fuma advised those visiting the country to choose employers more carefully, he said Friday at a press conference focused on Armenian pilots release from jail in Equatorial Guinea, where they had been taken for their alleged complicity in coup attempt. According to RIA Novosti, he said the Armenian pilots had been used for Equatorial Guinea’s interior political conflicts solution. “This isn’t their guilt, they have been used to commit coup in the country. They even had no idea about that”, the Ambassador said. In his words, those coming to the country for jobs are ill-informed about the situation in the country. “That’s why I don’t rule out that tomorrow Belarusian or Moldovan pilots can find themselves in the same situation their Armenian colleagues face today”, the diplomat said.
Six Armenian pilots have been working in Equatorial Guinea on board of An-12 aircraft registered in Armenia since January 2004. In March 2004, they were taken in police custody on charge of complicity in coup attempt and espionage.
On Nov 26, 204, Malabo city’s court sentenced the crew commander to 24 years in jail and the rest members of the crew to 14 years. Armenian pilots have performed only one flight to Congo before being jailed. In June 2005, Equatorial Guinean President granted forgiveness to the arrested. M.V.
