The Popular Front Party (PFPA) rejected the allegations made against its activist Fouad Ahmadli of links with Fethullah Gulen, accused of organizing the coup in Turkey.
The day before, Azerbaijan's State Security Service (SSS) and the Prosecutor General's office announced the arrest of four citizens of Azerbaijan, Shahin Israilov, Fouad Ahmadli, Etibar Musayev and Vugar Gasimov, who worked in the mobile operators and are accused of illegal operations. They allegedly illegally used the personal data of subscribers and other public information. A criminal case has been filed under article 302.1 (violation of the law on operational and investigative activities) and 308.1 (abuse of power) of the Criminal Code.
PFPA on this occasion said that "the authorities developed a new evil plan against the PFPA and began a new wave of repression."
The party considers fiction the rumors spread in the pro-government media about links of PFPA with Gulen and calls the charges against Ahmadli "fabricated and false."
Ahmadli has no connection with Gulen supporters. He graduated from the University of Economics and is a political activist with a modern liberal thinking.
PFPA states that the authorities, fearing imminent opposition rallies against anti-democratic referendum on amendments to the Constitution, are deploying a new wave of repression. For the past few days they have carried out administrative arrests of PFPA activists.
"Apparently, the power is possessed by a passion to establish a model of North Korea in Azerbaijan and continue repression of PFPA, which is an insurmountable obstacle to the realization of their evil intentions."
Despite all the difficulties, the party will not give up its position of principle, and will continue to fight with the same determination.
PFPA urged the local and international community not to remain indifferent to the new wave of repression and raise the voice of protest, using effective measures to stop the suppression of human rights by the authorities.
The PFPA Deputy Chairman Gezal Bayramli told Turan the people referred to in the SSS / Prosecutor General report, except Ahmadli, are irrelevant to PFPA.
She also noted that during the search of Ahmadli’s apartment any literature associated with Gulen was not seized. The law enforcers only seized several books of fiction and brochures of the national democratic movement of the late 1980s. ----06B-
