Punishment of Mekhtiev and Novruzov as a response to the negative reaction of society
Baku/22.08.20/Turan: The news that the Absheron court convicted the son-in-law of the President of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences Ramiz Mehdiyev, ex-deputy Ilham Aliyev, for 15 days for organizing his daughter's wedding despite the quarantine ban, became a sensation. The police also detained his matchmaker, Rovshan Mustafayev. They are charged under Article 211.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
Since videos from this wedding have been actively disseminated on the social network, the participants are visible on the video - the reprimanded deputy Siyavush Novruzov, his wife Ombudsman Sabina Aliyeva, the former rector of Baku State University Abel Maharramov, Ramiz Mehdiyev himself and others.
"The law is harsh, but fair. Now the persons on the list of "distinguished guests" headed by the "little insignificant man" Abel Maharramov (this is the definition he gave to himself and to all the wedding guests at the same time, making a toast there - Ed.) Can be considered as specific opponents of the decisions taken by the country's top leadership, since they exposed those around them to the danger of contracting a deadly virus, "retired KGB lieutenant colonel Akif Hasanov wrote on Facebook.
Responding a question from Turan, Siyavush Novruzov said that he was taking part in the meeting in the Milli Mejlis and could not speak. Eldar Ibrahimov, Chairman of the Ethics Commission of the Milli Mejlis, did not answer the phone.
Javad Javadov, a lawyer and former candidate for deputy, believes that the ombudsman Sabina Aliyeva could have resigned if Azerbaijan had such a tradition among officials. And since she won't, it would be good for her to apologize to the people.
In an interview with Turan, human rights activist Saida Gojamanli noted that it is difficult to say: a new era of legality has begun in Azerbaijan, or what is happening is only an appearance of legality. But, what for the first time showed the equality of all citizens of the country before the law, when there are no regalia, positions, merits, etc. do not affect the attitude of the state towards violators - this is already good. S. Gojamanli also drew attention to the fact that the court decision does not indicate where the offender Ilham Aliyev is serving his sentence: in places of temporary detention or at home. — 0—
