Baku/09.12.22/Turan: Public activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev was detained in connection with a criminal case against him. He is being taken to the Khatai District Court of Baku to choose a measure of restraint, lawyer Agyl Laidjev told Turan. Hajiyev is accused of hooliganism following a complaint from tv reporter Ulviya Alovlu.
