Turkish Police refused to investigate murder of Elmar Huseynov

"Turkish law enforcement bodies in cooperation with their Azerbaijani counterparts were investigating the murder of Azerbaijani journalist Elmar Huseynov last year. However, Turkish law enforcement bodies refused to do it later on," Turkish Police Chief assistant Ramazan Ar announced.

The Police Chief assistant, however, did not explain the reasons, APA reports.

Mr.Ar refused to comment his statement to Turkish media in April last year when he said Haji Mammadov-led gang murdered Elmar Huseynov.

Turkish and American specialists were invited to contribute the investigation into the murder. After the Turkish investigators returned to their home country, Ar told that they had revealed the crime and found traces of the murderer. He even declared that the gang led by Haji Mammadov organized this murder.

The Azerbaijani side, however, refuted this statement later on.
