The known Azerbaijani writer, the author of the smash novel “Stone
dreams”, Akram Aylisli, is going to take Azerbaijani mass media
to court.

To note, yesterday Azerbaijani mass media informed about Aylisli’s
death. His novel “Stone dreams”, telling about the Baku massacre of
the Armenians and published in the Russian magazine “Druzhba narodov”
caused a lot of noise and hysteria in Azerbaijan. On February 7,
2013, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed a presidential
decree that stripped Aylisli of the title of “People’s Writer” and
the presidential pension.

“I am going to punish all those who disseminated such disinformation
and take them to court. I did not die, I am alive”, – the 77 year
old writer said when replying Azerbaijani journalists’ calls.
