Mirkadyrov through his lawyer issued a statement which regarded the deprivation of the right to a lawyer in Turkey as "an unprecedented event in the space of the Council of Europe."
"I want to note that the prosecution and the judge that did not provide my participation in the trial made this decision at the time when Azerbaijan presides over the Council of Europe, and on the eve of the visit of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to Strasbourg to participate in the next session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe," reads the statement.
Mirkadyrov believes that a decision of the prosecutors and judges should be investigated, and relevant assessment should be given.
