On January 16, 2020, the Baku Serious Crimes Court continued the trial of Talish scientist, enlightener, journalist and politician Fakhraddin Aboszoda (Abbasov). The sixth court session was held. (Talysh is an ancient Iranian-speaking people (population of about one and a half million people) whose rights are violated in the most barbaric way in Azerbaijan.)
One quotation from the court record:
During the meeting, the prosecutor asked Aboszoda:
- You declared the Talysh as a friendly people towards Armenia.
- I still think so. I am a supporter of the friendship of all peoples, including Armenians.
- Come on, I’ll ask otherwise. The Armenians now have a conflict with us. Suddenly they will be stronger, and completely capture all of Azerbaijan. How do you feel about this then? What will they do for the Talysh - will they give you autonomy, or will they separate you into a separate state?
- This is not even a question. You imagine something, fantasize. What does this have to do with the lawsuit?!
The judge expressed a reaction to this dispute, turning to the defendant:
- So the question has remained unanswered?
- I would not say that the answer is not given. There is no answer to this question. Please write so in the protocol.
