On Thursday the Baku Serious Crimes Court at the trial in the "Nardaran case" continued testimony of the accused. The deputy chairman of the Popular Front Party (APFP) Fuad Gahramanli harshly criticized the authorities, saying about the usurpation of power in the country. Azerbaijan is controlled by Stalin's methods, and it is a nationwide hatred of the authorities, he said, expressing his protest against the accusations of anti-state activities. "The state is sacred for us: the state and the power of different concepts," said Gahramanli. Those who have power see the state as a source of personal enrichment. "I was arrested for my thoughts. Such a shame does not take place even in Mozambique," said Gahramanli.
