Baku / 14.04.20 / Turan: On the evening of April 13, Internet access of the leader of the Popular Front Party Ali Karimli was blocked. This happened after he was preparing to give an interview to one of the Internet channels.
At the same time, Karimli's mobile and landline phones were blocked. He is at home, and there is no connection with him.
The PFPA statement said the party urged citizens to adhere to quarantine rules and postponed all public events, officially announcing this.
However, pro-government media falsely claim that Karimli urged people to take to the streets.
“This is the government’s plan to discredit and isolate Ali Karimli. PFPA stands for a peaceful and democratic struggle,” the statement said.
Recall that in recent days the authorities arrested about a dozen PFPA activists on trumped-up charges of violating the quarantine regime, and there was also an assistant to Karimli among them. -03B-

"Armenia has acquired and will continue to acquire weapons solely for the purpose of self-defense. Over 200 square kilometers of our sovereign territory is under the control of Azerbaijan. And even to regain these territories, we do not intend to consider military action, but rather a process of demarcation. So, we are buying weapons and have no intention of sending them back," he stated.
