The quote about Sadval assuming responsibility for the event has no evidence to back it. The link you provide leads to an Azerbaijani website (which is biased, can't be used as a source) that DOES NOT provide any proof or references itself. It's just a random sentence there. The Russian Wikipedia page DOES NOT claim Sadval's responsibility and mentions that certain organizations considered the arrested suspects political prisoners. This is just yet another attempt by Azerbaijani propagandists to smear the name of the Lezgi independence movement. I will delete the sentence, and it needs to stay deleted unless concrete proof is provided (which it never will, because the accusations are baseless). 212.47.140.11 (talk) 21:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
