A columnist of the newspaper Yeni Musavat Zamin Haji was summoned to the main police department of Baku on November 28.
As Haji told Turan, the reason for the call was his status on Facebook on 23 November to mark the anniversary of the death of the journalist Rafiq Tagi.
In that publication Haji said that over the resonant murder and attacks of the last 26 years no one was punished in Azerbaijan.
In this series, he pointed to the January events of 1990, the Khojaly genocide, the attack of November 20, 1991, the murder of Academician Ziya Bunyadov, the air force commander Raeel Rzayev, the journalist Elmar Huseynov, the writer-publicist Rafig Tagi, and others.
"How can we talk about stability and state-building in the country, if such crimes go unpunished?" rhetorically asks the author.
According to him, representatives of the Metropolitan Police and the Interior Ministry charged him with complaints about the status and declared that stability reigns in the country and the journalist casts a shadow on the socio-political situation.
A few months ago Zamin Haji was also summoned to the Baku police for a "talk." -06D--
