Baku / 13.08.18 / Turan: "This is not a complete victory, but partial. It became possible thanks to the efforts of all the supporters of republicanism - young, adults, all activists of Azerbaijan, their support given to me," said Ilgar Mammadov, after 5.5 years of imprisonment, who met his supporters and journalists at the house.
He also congratulated his supporters on the anniversary of the Azerbaijan People's Republic, noting that the Republic Day - May 28, they managed to celebrate with a demonstration on the Istiglal Street.
Mammadov said that he will continue his political activities "for the realization of republican values" with even greater force. He expressed gratitude to the democratic forces of the country for their support, as well as to international organizations. Mammadov said that he will hold a press conference in the near future, but first he wants to undergo medical examination.
"Not because I have health problems, but v because you never know what to expect from the authorities," he said.
Answering the question about the trial, Mammadov said that he was not released on Friday because too many people arrived in Sheki, and at such a massive confluence of circumstances he "could not let him go." -C06 ---
