Prosecutor General’s Office announced the beginning of a criminal case against supporters of Gulen
In the evening of Azerbaijani General Prosecutor's Office in the evening on August 15 confirmed reports of pro-governmental media on the lawsuits against the "supporters" of the Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen who lives in the United States. " Fethullah Gülenis accused of the organization of the attempt of coup in Turkey. In order to prevent illegal activities of the supporters of Fethullah Gülen on the territory of Azerbaijan, the Serious Crimes Investigation Department of the General Prosecutor's Office of Azerbaijan initiated a lawsuit," said the head of the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office Eldar Sultanov.
According to him, the investigative and operational measures are ongoing in the case. Sultanov said nothing about those brought to justice in the case and the specific charges against them. Among the active supporters of Gulen media called a youth activist Elgiz Gahramanov who on 12 August was arrested on charges of drug trafficking. A key figure in the "Gülen network" was called the PFPA leader Ali Kerimli. Kerimli called the accusations against him nonsense, recalling that previously they connected his name with the Shiite "Movement of Muslim unity" and "Hizbullah", the Sunni "Al Qaeda." Kerimli said that the accusations against the opposition relate to the upcoming rally against the referendum on amendments to the Constitutions. --06D--
