The opposition Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) will appeal
to Georgia to achieve a transparent conduct of investigation into
the incident related to chairman of the Yeni Fikir (New Thought)
youth movement Ruslan Bashirli.
Bashirli has been arrested on charges of plotting with representatives
of the Armenian secret service to stage a coup in Azerbaijan.
PFPA chairman Ali Karimli told a news conference on Friday that his
party will make every effort to draw Georgian secret service bodies to
the investigation. “This may help the investigation to identify those
who are said to be employees of the Armenian secret service,” he said.
Karimli added that their goal is not to acquit Bashirli but to
‘ascertain the truth’.
