"The reports saying that the national minorities living in the north of Azerbaijan have appealed to president of Dagestan Mukhu Aliyev claiming violation of their rights are groundless," department of President's Office of Dagestan told.

However, a source in the President's Office has confirmed the fact that some national minorities in northern Azerbaijan- Lezghins and Avars have appealed to the president for several times on the same purpose.

The source did not rule out that some separatist groups in Dagestan can intentionally organize this, APA reports.

"They introduce themselves as Azerbaijani citizens and call to Hot Line. Let them call their names and addresses. Only in this case appropriate investigation can be carried out," the source underlined.
