The mysterious death of Azerbaijani activist Bayram Mammadov also known as the ‘prisoner of the monument’ in Istanbul has become a subject of discussion in the Turkish parliament, JAMnews reported.

MP of the opposition People’s Democratic party (HDP) Murat Cepni came up with the initiative to discuss the issue further.

During a plenary session of parliament, MP Cepni said:

“10 days after Mammadov’s death, his friend Giyas Ibragimov, who was convicted together with Bayram Mammadov, was deported from Turkey without any reason and it was announced to him that henceforth he was prohibited from entering Turkey. Bayram’s father Farman Mammadov last spoke with his son on May 1, 2021, when he found out that his son was going to return to Baku within a week. People close to Mamedov say that he was persecuted by members of the Turkish special services, and earlier he was interrogated at the Istanbul airport by one of the officers”.
