New methods of pressure on the opposition in Nakhchivan

An attack was made on the farm  of Zeynalabdin Bagirzade  in the village of  Nehram led by the head of the local municipality, Tofig Abutalybov. Using  machinery, the assailants plowed Bagirzade’s field, destroying all the melons and fruit trees.

This happened after a meeting of regional structure of the opposition "Public Chamber", one of the leaders of which is Bagirzade, and which took place in Nakhchivan.

It is interesting that among the "vermins" was  Isa Mamedov, the MP Nakhchivan  Autonomous Republic (NAR), the head of Babek regional branch of the party "Yeni Azerbaijan", head of the Veterinary Administration of Babek region, Jalal Hasanov, and several  heads of the departments of regional  executive power.

According to the Bagirzade, head of the municipality  insulted him, and tried to provoke a response.

"You are traitors, we have driven many of you, and we will drive you too. You have been on  probation,  and we will return you to jail," shouted Tofig Abutalibov. Bagirzade has all documents for the farm, which has suffered huge losses. Previously, due to the termination of the water supply, hectares of crops of grain were destroyed, and  2000 apple trees were dried. 

 The farmer is convinced that he is subjected  to pressure  because of the political  activity of his brother, the head of the regional branch of PFPA, Yashar Bagirsoy.

Bagirzade was arrested late last year on charges of fraud, and in particular the forgery of the liquidator  of Chernobyl Atomic Power Station, and subsequently was  sentenced to 7.5 years  of imprisonment on probation.—0--
