Baku / 13.02.20 / Turan: Organizers of an opposition rally against falsification of parliamentary elections will again appeal to Baku Mayor's Office to be allowed to hold a rally on February 16 in the city center. This was reported to Turan by one of the organizers of the rally, leader of the D18 movement Ruslan Izzatli.
According to him, the organizers are not satisfied with the proposal of the authorities to hold a rally at the stadium of the Neftchi sports club in the village of Lokbatan.
The rally is held by the parties Musavat, Republican Alternative, the D18 movement, and independent candidates Farhad Mehdiyev and Gunel Safarova.
Last Tuesday, they notified the city hall of their intention to hold an action near the metro station "May 28." On Wednesday, authorities did not allow the rally at all, but later proposed to hold an action in Lokbatan. –06D-

The court records from the trial of Teymur Kerimov, the head of the YouTube channel Kanal-11, were falsified, the declaration distributed by Kerimov's colleagues. “The court documents are distorted. They misrepresented the testimony of citizens. For instance, the victim Leila Almaszadeh stated in court that she had no complaints against me. In court, she said, “Teymur did not ask me for money and did not receive any money from me.” However, the court protocol states that she is complaining about me and demands the removal of illegally recorded videos,” writes Kerimov.
