Azerbaijan, Baku, Nov. 14 /Trend/
Russia's ambassador to Tajikistan Yuri Popov late on Monday is returning to Dushanbe after a short working trip to Moscow, ambassador counselor for political issues Dmitry Kabayev
told Itar-Tass.
"On Tuesday morning, the ambassador will be back in his office," Kabayev said.
Popov came to Moscow on Friday for consultations with top-ranking officials from the Russian foreign ministry after a Tajik court had sentenced two pilots of a Russian airline, Russian national Vladimir Sadovnichy and Estionian citizens Alexei Rudenko, to 8.5 years in a maximum-security penitentiary for the breach of Tajikistan's air space and contraband. The ambassador informed about the current situation and the results of his meeting with Tajikistan President Emomali Rakhmon.
