Pakistan evicts Save the Children foreign staff![]() September 6, 2012 - 12:52 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A spokesman for Save the Children in Pakistan says the government has ordered its foreign staff members to leave the country, CBS News reported. Ghulam Qadri said on Thursday, Sept 6 that the order from the Ministry of Interior for the organization's six expatriate staffers to leave came earlier this week. He said the ministry gave no reason for the expulsion. The group has come under Pakistani government scrutiny recently because of reports that it helped facilitate meetings between the U.S. and a doctor who helped hunt down Osama bin Laden. The group has vehemently denied any such role. Qadri says Save the Children has about 2,000 Pakistani employees across the country, and that the expulsion will not hinder its work. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
