    Baku. Hafiz Heydarov-APA. Hearing on the case of former officer of
    Azerbaijani Army Kamran Asadov and 19 others was held in the Court
    of Grave Crimes on Wednesday.

    APA reports that judge Islam Neymanov presided over the process. One
    of the defendants Hajibala Huseynov gave testimony. He spoke about
    Akhund of Abu Bakr mosque Haji Gamat Suleymanov as well. He denied
    his evidence giving to the investigators that Haji Gamat intended
    to commit jihad in Azerbaijan and said that he belonged to salafi
    sect. "He is not able to commit jihad in Azerbaijan".

    The accused man said religious laws were not correctly observed in
    Azerbaijan. Huseynov said they advocated for "jihad for defense" and
    supported jihad declared in Chechnya against Russia. "Not depending
    on the sects, we are also supporting the nagshbandi struggle".

    When the judge told him "Then you are supporting Armenian actions
    in Karabakh too", another accused man Ilkin Ismayilov answered
    him. He said it was not correct to compare Armenian actions with
    Chechens. Ismayilov spoke about Sheikh Shamil and said that he
    struggled against Russia for long years for independence of Azerbaijan.

    Then Huseynov developed his testimony and spoke about the activity
    of former chairman of the State Committee for Work with Religious
    Associations Rafig Aliyev. He said they were satisfied with his
    activity.

    Huseynov said he delivered religious speeches before hundred people
    in Mashtaga Village.

    Kamran Asadov called Huseynov "kafir" (unbeliever) and said he was
    against the rules he set once.

    The trial will be continued in the afternoon.

    Kamran Asadov, Bakhtiyar Orujov, Farid Jabbarov, Elshan Mammadov,
    Kamran Babayev, Samir Mehbaliyev, Terlan Karimov, Edgar Aliyev,
    Ramil Karimov, Shirvani Babayev, Samir Aliyev, Yalchin Maharramov,
    Orkhan ALizadeh, Hajibala Huseynov, Azer Ibadov, Shahriyar Mehraliyev,
    Ramin Jalilov, Rovshan Abdulaliyev, Ilkin Ismayilov and Vugar Aliyev
    are accused of setting up a radical religious group, attempting to
    start military struggle, attacking on LUKoil petrol station in Baku,
    preparing terror attack on the U.S. and UK embassies in Azerbaijan.
