On Friday a member of the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF) and deputy chairman of the EL Movement, Kochari Naghiyev was summoned at 14:00 to the Investigation Department for Serious Crimes of the General Prosecutor's Office.
According Naghiyev, he was caused by an investigator Orkhan Damirli, who previously questioned Eldar Namazov for four hours the leader of the El Movement and the head of the office of NCDF.
According to Namazov, he was summoned to the Attorney General due to inquiry conducted on the basis of the appeal Aflan Ibrahimov, claiming that the El Movement and the National Council are preparing riots during the presidential election. Namazov called it a fiction by Ibrahimov.
Aflan Ibrahimov, who presented himself as the deputy head of the El Movement, and a week ago he told the pro-government media about preparations of riots during the elections by Namazov and Ali Kerimli, the head of the Popular Front Party. In protest Ibrahimov allegedly left the El Movement, and hastily began the investigation.—16/06d--
