Turkish police are creating bureaucratic obstacles to investigate the death—in Istanbul—of Azerbaijani political activist Bayram Mammadov. Elgiz Gahramanov, an activist of the NIDA Movement in Istanbul, spoke about this on his Facebook page, Turan reported. 
According to him, Friday morning the father of the deceased, Farman Mammadov, a group of his friends, and a lawyer brought by them came to the Iskele police station in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul.
From there, they were sent to the morgue of the Center for Expertise. After waiting there for an hour and a half, they were allowed inside and given the opportunity to see the body of Bayram.
According to Elgiz Gahramanov, the police said that the investigator was studying the recordings of CCTV cameras along the route of Bayram on the day of the incident.
NIDA activist Bayram Mammadov was found dead on May 2 at sea in Istanbul.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
