Presenting herself as an "independent journalist", Zumrud Mamedova on Friday held a press conference, where she accused of cheating the former Rector of the International University (AIU) Elshad Abdullayev.
The entire press conference was reduced to incoherent and unfounded accusations. So, Mamedova claimed that Abdullayev appropriated some money from martyr families, that he did not return money to a woman and that he uses his video against women.
According to Mamedova, she acts on behalf of the citizens, although in the room there was no one but her. It was not clear who the victims were, where they were and what their names were.
Referring to the revelatory video by Abdullayev, Mamedova considered it as "revenge" to Ramiz Mehdiyev. She also called the video "illegal" because the law prohibits recording a person without his permission. (!)
Finally Mamedova proposed to establish an independent commission of inquiry "to expose the crimes" committed by Abdullayev.
It is noteworthy that before the conference pro-government media workers phoned and invited colleagues to "sensational" revelations against Abdullayev. -05C-
