A 17-year-old girl Aytaj Babayeva was brutally murdered on Wednesday in Baku after eight stab wounds inflicted by a guy who loved the girl, but was rejected. This brutal and senseless murder caused a strong reaction of female users of social networks, which have organized an action in memory of the victim, and violence against women.
"Do not become a victim of barbarism!" is the name of the action, which put on Faceebook photos with placards condemning the girl’s murder. Women of Turkey also joined this action, and recalled a similar offense committed in Turkey few months ago, when the beloved killed Ozgechan Aslanly.-16D04-
