A native of Dagestan has been put on the wanted list on suspicion of involvement in riots at the airport.

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has put Abakar Abakarov on the wanted list, suspected of administering the “Morning of Dagestan” telegram channel. It is he who is credited with calling for unrest at the Makhachkala airport.

According to media reports, Abakarov moved to Ukraine in 2016 and created an “Islamic school” in Odessa together with members of the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization. After the start of "SVO" he moved to Turkey.

Most of the participants in the riots at Makhachkala airport were awarded fines and administrative arrests. Let us remind you that on October 29, local residents broke into the runway after the arrival of a flight from Tel Aviv. They were reported to be looking for Israeli citizens who had flown in as part of a response to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
