APA reports that those persons, who are allegedly members of the radical religious denomination, are posting threatening comments about APA’s correspondent Hafiz Heydarov and chief editor of Kulis.az Gan Turali.

They have posted insulting expressions about Hafiz Heydarov, the correspondent of APA Information Agency, who is releasing information about the Azerbaijanis killed in Syria. They claim that Heydarov, signing in Facebook under various names, is collecting information about the Azerbaijanis killed in Syria. The believers called on everybody to be careful.

Journalist Gan Turali is also insulted on social networks. The radical believers call Gan Turali the enemy of Islam and successor of the writer and publicist Rafig Tagi, who was killed a few years ago and posted his photos: “This person is a successor of Rafig Tagi and an enemy of Islam. He lives in Baku. Let’s recognize our enemies.”
