APA’s correspondent reports from Nardaran that the protesters chanted slogans "We share the grief of Gaza!", "Death to America and Israel!", "US hates the world Muslims!". Nardaran resident Haji Ali Huseynov called the happenings in Gaza "tragedy of the century".
"America, which always speaks about democracy, supports criminal Israel," he said.
Haji Ali Huseynov said some Azerbaijani intellectuals gave false information to people and betrayed the nation.
"Such intellectuals as Sabir Rustamkhanli betray the nation, slander "Seher" TV channel (Iranian channel), which covers Azerbaijan’s problems. For these actions, an elderly man of Nardaran issued death fatwa against Sabir Rustamkhanli. Sabir Rustamkhanli would rather increase the number of his bodyguards," he said.
Nardaran resident Haji Hikmat Mammadov called on Azerbaijani government to focus attention on the happenings in Gaza.
MP Sabir Rustamkhanli told APA that "Seher" TV channel of Iran broadcasted false programs and reports about him.
"Why were Nardaran residents silent when an Iranian TV channel gave false information about an Azeri citizen? If they are indeed Azerbaijanis, they should answer these slanders, not defend the slanderer…”" he said.
