Turkey reinstated Erdogan fired his adviser after he criticized the decision of the Azerbaijani authorities on the wearing of hijab The reason for the deterioration of Azerbaijan-Turkey relations was the new school uniform rules introduced in Azerbaijan on September 21. Oktai Sheral spoke out on social media against Baku's decision and said that it is unacceptable to prevent female schoolgirls in religious dress from getting an education. Baku later put seven Turkish citizens on the international wanted list for "inciting religious hatred". "Mr. President appointed me to this position, and I left according to his instructions. I don't hold a grudge against anyone," Komhurit quoted Erdogan's adviser as saying. According to the politician, his departure is probably related to statements about Azerbaijan. Earlier, Eye of the Middle East wrote that Baku demanded that Ankara remove Sharel from his position in response to his statements.
