Azeri Politicians and Facebook: Not a Love Story

Recently, a prominent Azeri politician Eldar Namazov announced that a Facebook profile of him was in fact fake. That is, someone was impersonating him for a long period of time and indeed successfully. He never registered in the site. I have written a piece about the case here in which I concluded that:
[If Azeri politicians like Eldar Namazov do not] come to Facebook, they can always be victims of possible Internet frauds and find themselves in uncomfortable situations. After all, sacred niches do not remain unoccupied, says an old conventional wisdom.
Ah, and here is the news - another Azeri [well, we can say former] politician, the first president of Azerbaijan Republic Ayaz Mutallibov has declared that his Facebook account is in fact not his, it is fake[, too!]
