An Azerbaijani commentator for Match TV insulted an Azerbaijani journalist

A few days ago, azerisport.com posted news about Match TV's boycott of Qarabag's games. Match TV, one of Russia's leading sports TV channels, has confirmed some information by not broadcasting Qarabag's match against Spanish giants Villarreal.

Azerbaijani commentator Elvin Karimov, who works as a commentator for the channel, criticized Ruslan Mikayilli, the author of the article, on his personal Facebook page, and in some cases even insulted him, Offsideplus.azreports.

We would like to draw your attention to the article: “First of all, let me note that Match TV aired two matches of the Azerbaijani national team in the UEFA Nations League in October. The second issue is the number of matches in the group stage of the Euroleague, and the TV channel decides which ones to show. On the day of Maccabi's match with Qarabag, Wolfsburg-CSKA, Dynamo-Feyenoord, Leicester-Zarya, Celtic-Milan, Tottenham-LASK matches were broadcast. In this case, you do not need to be a program director to see the serious competition between the games. October 29 - The day whenQarabag played against Villarreal, CSKA - Dynamo, Feyenoord - Wolfsburg, Antwerp - Tottenham, AEK - Leicester, Milan - Spartak were shown.

If Ruslan Mikayilli , the author of the article, was a JOURNALIST , he would have contacted the management of Match TV to make sure the news was true. In the worst case, he would call me. Apparently, he was a pacifist (he is against war and violence to the point of not resisting violently, even at the cost of harming himself - H.) and did not hesitate to call me as a false patriot. Olsun ”.

The fact that one Azerbaijani uses such expressions about another Azerbaijani, as well as his COLLEAGUE, shows that we are still not strong as a nation. What Ruslan wrote is based on logic and is a message of truth. However, even if it was a mistake, Elvin, who lives in Russia and works for the TV channel, has NO RIGHT to use such expressions against his Azerbaijani colleague . I am sure that the instruction was given to him by the management of Match TV, and perhaps by an Armenian who I do not want to name.

In any case, those who read that status and witnessed the "war of words" of Azerbaijanis in the comments section laughed and rejoiced. If people can stand outside and easily create a war between colleagues, woe to us.

Elvin, you weren't the one to answer the accusation against Match TV (if it's really an accusation). Even if you were, you should have done it differently. In such a sensitive period, not by insulting his Azerbaijani in front of Russians and Armenians ... SHAME!
