"German want 6,500 Azerbaijanis, who sought political asylum in this country, to return to Azerbaijan. The problem is that Azerbaijani side does not hold any negotiation on this issue," German Ambassador Extraordinary any Plenipotentiary to Azerbaijan Per Stankina told journalists.

"This is not a matter of deportation but a matter of international legislation. Every state is responsible for its citizens. If these persons are the citizens of concrete country, that country should provide the returning of its people. Azerbaijan and Germany should cooperate, hold negotiations to solve the problem to which Baku has not yet reacted. We have offered to hold talks recently. We want to know how to act in the next stage. German delegation arrived in Baku for this issue several months ago. But Azerbaijan did not send any delegation. Azerbaijan seems to refuse to start negotiations regarding this issue," the Ambassador underlined.
