According to Isna, this action against Ali Karimli, who has been the leader of the People’s Fro Party of Azerbaijan since 2000 and is known as an oppone of the Preside of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, is related to an ongoing criminal case against Ramiz Mehdiyev, an old ally of the former preside of this coury, Heydar Aliyev, who was the leader of Azerbaijan uil shortly before his death in 2003.
Karimli’s deputy Seymour Hazi told Reuters News agency that two members of the aforemeioned party, Faiq Amirli and Mohammad Ibrahim, were arrested on Saturday.
