Baku/05.10.21/Turan: It seems that Baku has decided to teach the Tehran regime a lesson for its behavior in recent days and open support for Armenia. So, today the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan closed the “Husseinia” mosque, where Shiite supporters of Iran gathered.
Note that this mosque is also the office of Ali Akbar Ojagnijad, the official representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei.
Iranian officials spoke in this mosque when visiting Baku, as well as Iranian religious leaders. The official reason for the closure of the mosque is the spread of the coronavirus.
According to the spokesman for the Interior Ministry, Ehsan Zahidov, an analysis of the events showed that this mosque is one of the places from which the coronavirus has spread recently. For this reason, the activity of the mosque has been stopped and epidemiological measures are being taken there. -02D-
