EXCLUSIVE. VIDEO. I Have Been Arrested at the Request of Belarus, Under Orders from Azerbaijan: Lapshin

Earlier today, we reported that law enforcement authorities blocked the entry of blogger Alexander Lapshin into Armenia's territory at the Yerevan "Zvartnots" airport based on a request from Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation.

This was stated by blogger Alexander Lapshin on social media: "They demanded that I go with them to the office. I refused. They took my passport; I have been standing in front of one of the passport control points for more than an hour now. The situation is very unpleasant, and I need the support of the media. The border guards are communicating in Armenian; I only understood the word 'arrest,'" wrote Lapshin.

Moments ago, AURORANEWS managed to contact blogger Alexander Lapshin, who told us that he has been arrested at the request of Belarus. He is currently in the police station adjacent to Zvartnots airport. This situation has persisted for more than 2 hours. All documents have been taken. It is still unclear what the outcome will be.

In addition, Alexander Lapshin mentioned in our conversation that he often criticizes the activities of Belarusian President Lukashenko, which is the main reason for his current predicament. He is also confident that Belarus is fulfilling Azerbaijan's demands: "I am not needed by Lukashenko; he is carrying out the orders of Ilham Aliyev," Lapshin stated.
