Fuad Gahramanli resigned as deputy chair of PFPA
Baku/21.09.19/Turan: Deputy Chairman of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) Fuad Gahramanli announced the resignation from this post the night before.
He took this step after the public announcement of his daughter, 18-year-old Seljan Yagmur, that her father periodically beat her along with her younger sister, as well as their mother.
The girl condemned her father because, in his political activities, advocating for human rights, he committed violence against daughters and spouses in the family.
According to Seljan Yagmur, her mother, the writer Zumrud Yagmur, was planning to divorce her husband several years ago, but she was dissuaded by the Popular Front Party leader Ali Karimli to save her family.
The girl said that she abandons her father and takes the name of her mother.
Zumrud Yagmur on her facebook page briefly confirmed her daughter"s innocence, saying that she would speak in detail later.
Gahramanli, resigning, said he did not want to use family drama for political speculation and the campaign against the Popular Front Party.
"The allegations against me are distorted. 4-5 years before the arrest (2015), I experienced a short-term intra-family conflict. I am sorry about that. Then the experienced tension gave rise to moral trauma in my children. And the statement by Seljan is an emotional reaction resulting from that trauma," F. Gahramanli wrote.
He notes that he considers it morally unacceptable to conduct a polemic with his daughter and find out the motives of her actions. -06D-
