Valery Charlotte, father of Russian singer Eduard Charlotte, told socialbites.ca that he did not expect his son to be detained at Pulkovo airport after arriving from Yerevan. She believes that her son does not have a lawyer and is therefore ready to provide him with any necessary assistance.
We haven’t had any contact with him for a long time and I can’t say anything new. I was aware that it was coming because yesterday was widely covered and we were waiting for this moment (Back to Russia. – socialbites.ca). But what happened next… What can I say? I had to assume something was going to happen, but I couldn’t be sure. I have just read about these events, so I can neither comment nor add anything. “I still don’t fully understand what happened,” said the singer’s father.
He noted that if possible, he would definitely provide his son with all the necessary help.
“If he remains detained there now, no one can contact him except the lawyer. But I doubt he has it. “If there is such an opportunity and I can help with something, of course I will, but first something needs to be explained, what should happen next,” added the artist’s father.
