Gozalov said some newspapers try to confuse public opinion, distort the real causes of the incident, essence of the measures taken by the law-enforcement bodies to solve the bloody crime.
â€œWriting that â€œspecial forces were deployed in the cityâ€, â€œclashes occurred between the police and local residentsâ€, â€œtear gas was used, there is informal state of emergency in the regionâ€ they claim that clashes occurred between the police and 200 believers in Lankaran on September 7. No clashes took place in Lankaran on September 7 and before. There were false reports about thatâ€.

Spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that another fact allegedly caused confrontation between police and local residents related to the detention of Gismat Isayev. â€œIndeed the matter was that on September 2, Imam of the Friday Mosque and his assistant informed police about Gismat Isayevâ€™s offences against them. Isayev was detained as suspect after the investigation. It became clear that he committed hooliganism against other townsman. The court passed decision five days of administrative imprisonment of Isayev, who regularly creates problems with the residents of the region. 20-25 people gathered near the railway station in Lankaran on September 7 to protest Isayevâ€™s detention, but there were no clashes and no casualties. 14 people were invited to police office for violation of public order, four of them were fined and case of another 10 was sent to the city court. The citizens welcomed these measures taken by policeâ€.
