Azerbaijani wrestler called to be lynched in Baku for losing to Armenian wrestler in Rio

YEREVAN, AUGUST 17, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijanis call Rasul Chunayev to be lynched for losing to Armenian wrestler Mihran Harutyunyan in the Rio Olympics, haqqin.az reported, adding that the Azerbaijani defeat to Armenia’s wrestler became the main topic in Azerbaijan yesterday.

Azerbaijani social media users have strictly criticized Chunayev with harsh insults.

They even proposed to initiate a petition to deprive him from Azerbaijani citizenship.

Calls are made to lynch the wrestler upon his return in the airport.

It is noteworthy that Chunayev, who has announced that sports must be separated from politics, has himself turned the wrestling ring into political arena.

Once after defeating the Armenian wrestler, he began marching in military fashion and saluted his victory.

The degraded society, which has become Armenophobic at the order of Azerbaijani leadership, is painfully reacting to the victory of Armenians against their representative regardless of the sphere, and is “sentencing to death” its own citizen, whom they once called heroes.
