The Azerbaijani diplomat Arif Mammadov called ridiculous accusations against him of aiding Russia. He urged his supporters not to believe the fiction propagated by pro-government media. "I have always analyzed press, and learned that the most objective, accurate and principled press organ is the newspaper" Azadlig ". I urge those who I believe, receive information from that body of the press ". Who does not believe, let him trust "haqqın.az" and other organs of the press, controlled from the presidential administration," Mamedov wrote on his page to Facebook.
He called "primitive" attempts to link it to Russia, while he has been working for 20 years in the West, where he is well known.
"These speculations are perceived in Europe with a laugh. If someone in Azerbaijan believes I, the West is well aware that I am not associated with some external forces.
There has never been a secret that I have always been a consistent supporter of human rights," wrote Mammadov, signing up," Ambassador to the people of Azerbaijan." -06D-
