The complaint was filed by the journalist"s lawyer Azer Rasul, the human rights activist Ogtay Gulaliyev, campaigning in defense of Zulfugarly, told Turan.
Recall that the journalist was sentenced to imprisonment on July 6 by Judge Ulvi Gambarov, who recognized Zulfugarly as guilty under Article 147.1 (slander).

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
