2. Investigation into the “Musavat” ECMC and the Call for Public Debate

Public Challenge: Through the Marka Film Production channel, Luciano Shirvani repeatedly issued official demands to the Chairman of the Musavat Party, Arif Hajili, as well as to Isa Gambar and the ECMC leadership, to address the facts uncovered by his investigation in a live broadcast.
