The loss by Greco-Roman wrestler Rasul Chunayev, who represented Azerbaijan at the 2016 Summer Olympics that are held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will seem to cause big trouble for him in his country.

Chunayev’s semifinal loss Tuesday against Armenia’s Migran Arutyunyan has become the main topic of discussion in Azerbaijan, according to Haqqin.az news agency of the country. 

Azerbaijani users of social networking websites have been divided into two respective camps. Some have severely criticized the Azerbaijani athlete, and these criticisms have often turned into insults, whereas others defended and supported him.  

A “very smart” criticizer even suggested signing a letter of demand that the wrestler be stripped of his Azerbaijan citizenship.

In addition, calls have been made toward lynching Rasul Chunayev upon arrival at the airport.
