An Azerbaijani man imprisoned in Nagorno-Karabakh on charges relating to the murder of an Armenian teenager has undergone urgent surgery at a hospital in Stepanakert, it emerged on Monday.
Shahbaz Quliyev's Karabakh Armenian lawyer, Arkady Israelian, and local human rights activists said he has already been discharged from the hospital and sent back to prison.
"The operation was successful and he is fine now," Karen Ohanjanian, head of the Stepanakert-based group Helsinki Initiative-92, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
Ohanjanian said that Quliyev complained of abdominal pains when he recently visited the 46-year-old Azerbaijani prisoner. The latter was then examined by Karabakh doctors and diagnosed with chronic gallbladder disease that required surgery, he said.
