The absence of Real TV Director General Mirshahin Aghayev from the wedding of his son, journalist Mirchingiz Aghayev, has prompted discussion on social media.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that claims circulating online said Mirshahin had not attended because of a disagreement with his son and had also barred Real TV employees from going to the wedding.
There were also claims that Mirchingiz Aghayev and his wife had been held at the wedding venue over a payment dispute concerning the menu.
Mirchingiz Aghayev has addressed the claims. He said it was true that his father did not attend the wedding, but that a dispute was not the reason.
He said Mirshahin Aghayev had bought a ticket to Nakhchivan a month earlier and attended the premiere of “Heaven’s Residence,” a film by Real TV employee Kamran Gasimov.
“It is true that my father did not come to the wedding. He had bought his ticket to Nakhchivan a month beforehand. He was going to attend the premiere of ‘Heaven’s Residence,’ a film by Real TV employee Kamran Gasimov. He had informed us separately about this. Given that many officials were also expected at the premiere, it would not have been reasonable to think he would postpone that event and come to the wedding. I can confirm that this information is true. He also posted that he was at the premiere.”
Mirchingiz Aghayev said some Real TV employees, as well as former colleagues, attended the wedding. He said the low turnout was not connected to the claims circulating online.
“Some Real TV employees came, including former employees. But they were not the majority. This had nothing to do with the information that was circulating. A number of people I had invited from my previous workplace had various reasons for not coming. Some fell ill, and some died. I understand the deaths; there are things that upset me about those who are still alive not coming. I would not want to connect that to rumors.”
The journalist also denied reports that he and his wife had been held at the wedding venue. He said they left about 15 to 20 minutes after settling the bill. (Pravda.az)
