According to official statement, Zulfugar Mikayilov and Abulfaz Bunyatov established the movement “Muslim unity” with the aim of changing the constitutional order of the state and creating a religious state governed by sharia law, said the statement. "The aforesaid persons have drawn supporters from Baku and other regions of the country, forming a criminal group and arming them with a variety of firearms, ammunition, and explosives.
