party in Balakan district, and party activists Ahmed Osman and Azizov
Garzalieva, with no apparent reason and started asking questions,
and later started to insult," said the senior Customs Lieutenant
Elchin Rahmanly.
After that, according to the source, Musavat members were searched.
Not finding anything they caviled at a pack of cigarettes "VIP"
that were purchased in Georgia, which were allegedly made in Armenia.
"Bickering and insults to Musavat members, accompanied by insulting
words, continued up to the prosecution of Azerbaijani Popular Front
Party (APFP) members and Musavat members which as if cooperate with
the Armenian side," reports the portal.
Ahmed Garzaliev said that recently the negative attitude of the
population to the current government of Azerbaijan has increased;
people prefer to be with the opposition.
"For this reason, the district administration gave curtain directions
to some structures to watch us and to blackmail us. Black PR is
carried out against local activists openly. And for any unpleasant
incidents that may occur, the district administration will carry the
responsibility," said a member of the party.
