The court acquitted Ismayilov under Article 147.2 (libel in committing a grave crime) of the Criminal Code.
At the same time, Judge Azer Tagiyev found Ismayilov guilty under Art. 148 (insult) of the Criminal Code and fined him at 1,500 manat.
Hajiyev demanded that Ismayilov be brought to justice on both counts and wanted him to pay compensation of 100,000 manat.
