A criminal group, making "Armenian" passports for Azeris, wishing to emigrate abroad, is arrested in Azerbaijan. As a representative of the local Department for Struggle against Organized Crime told the Azeri Public TV Channel, three residents of Sumgait provided Azerbaijanis with forged passports with names of people of Armenian descent. Later the holders of those passports used them to get a refugee status abroad, stating they could not live in Azerbaijan due to ethnic persecution.
