A statement released by the office of Azerbaijani Prosecutor-General announced on October 18 the removal of a lawyer defending former Economic Development Minister Farhad Aliyev.
According to Turan, the announcement stated that defense lawyer Adil Ismailov was removed "for brutally violating the norms of advocate ethics and legal procedure," but did not list the specific "violations" reportedly committed by Ismailov. Farhad Aliyev was arrested in 2005 and charged with financing an attempt to overthrow the Azerbaijani government. RFE/RL
