In Sumgait, Azerbaijan, security forces, at the request of the Russian authorities, detained 20-year-old Khayal Vasiliev. Since he is a citizen of the Russian Federation, Moscow asks to deport him in order to send him to the army.
As a child, the young man first lived with his father in the Russian Federation. The latter was later convicted, and the boy was transferred to a children's shelter. Then his grandparents took him to Azerbaijan, where they themselves lived. At the same time, over the next ten years, Khayal Vasiliev failed to obtain Azerbaijani citizenship.
