“Armenpress” presents the request letter of Lapshin’s wife which is posted on Change.org. Those who are interested can sign under the statement.

“Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

As the head of the state, You have big international influence, thus, You can and must help the citizen of Israel who served in the country’s defense army and now is in difficult situation. You have released Gilad Shalit by paying a high price for him. Your brother fell while saving the Israelis and Jews in Entebbe”, Lapshin’s wife writes, stating that time has come to help a blogger and a reporter who appeared in the Azerbaijani prison as a result of fulfilling his journalistic obligation.

“Taking into account the good relations between Israel and Azerbaijan, the joint military and economic programs, You have an opportunity to apply with a determined demand to President Aliyev and help the Israeli to appear in freedom.

This is a very dangerous precedent if we close eyes on this, later many Israelis can appear in such situations due to visiting disputed territories and even our territories in Jerusalem or the Golan Heights which the international community doesn’t recognize as an Israeli.

We understand that You are focused on global issues, such as the Iranian threat, however, providing assistance to the citizens of own country is no less important since we don’t leave ours not only in the battlefield, but also anywhere.

We expect Your interference since You can and You must intervene”.
