Baku / 02.11.17 / Turan: The preliminary investigation into the cases of the journalist Afgan Mukhtarli and the deputy chairman of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) Gezal Bayramli has been completed.

Now the accused together with the lawyers will get acquainted with the materials of the criminal case.
