At the trial, lawyers brought to the attention of the court that the warnings and interrogations of the journalist serve directly to move him away from his professional activities.

He told Radio Azadlig he was called in connection with his journalistic activities. According to him, the reason for the invitation was a status in the social networks from the interview of the director of Turan IA Mehman Aliyev.
"The status I was charged with was written on New Year's Eve, and I talked about the arrests of journalists Afgan Sadigov, Aziz Orujov, Afgan Mukhtarly and others and about the new wave of repression." The main reason for my call was the interview of Mehman Aliyev. I was told that with such statuses and interviews I confuse public opinion," Zeynalli said. --0--
