    UZEIR CAFAROV: "IT IS TIME TO STOP THE DISGRACEFUL PRACTICE WHICH HAS BECOME A FASHION IN THE DEFENSE MINISTRY"

    "This tragic event occurred on October 25", said independent military
    expert Uzeir Cafarov commenting on the information that soldier Hasan
    Allahverdiyev shot himself while being on the military post. "Hasan
    Allahverdiyev was shot by a commander of his unit.

    In the result the soldier was brought first to the Shemkir military
    hospital but then considering his critical state a military helicopter
    was sent from Baku, which carried Allahverdiyev to the reanimation
    department of the Central Military medical hospital of the Defense
    Ministry of Azerbaijan. Now the doctors are struggling to rescue
    the soldier. He is in a critical state. Doctors removed his spleen,
    his liver is half-dead in the result of shooting and the soldier is
    connected to the artificial respiration facility".

    "It means that what spokesman for the Defense Ministry Eldar Sabiroghlu
    says is a lie", said Uzeir Cafarov. "It is time to put an end to
    this shameful practice, which has become a fashion in the Defense
    Ministry. They consider that if a soldier is shot, it means that it
    should be registered as a case of suicide.

    First of all, Allahverdiyev served for about 3-4 months. Here a
    question arises - how this young low-experienced soldier came to be
    on the military post, where he is said to shoot himself? I think the
    military prosecution will investigate this issue and I want the Defense
    Ministry to stop mocking at the public opinion and stop taking the
    side of responsible commanders and reject these inadmissible methods.

    After being recruited soldiers are bound to undergo adaptation in
    the territory of the military unit. If such a conscript is sent to
    a post right away, it can easily breed undesired results. This is an
    example of that conscripts are sent to the posts and those who served
    half a year and more, do not go to the posts, which is a principal
    moment in the sense of the real combativeness of our army".

    Hasan Allahverdiyev has no father and according to the expert initially
    his commanders wanted to register the case of attempted suicide due
    to his hard family state.

    "But soldiers serve in harder circumstances and according to the logics
    of the Defense Ministry, they must all commit suicide. I would like
    to say that the unit, where Allahverdiyev serves, is one of the most
    complicated ones and it locates in the mountains.

    I want to remind to Sabiroghlu that 2 months ago in the same Shemkir
    division in the area of the Khanlar region soldier Faik Sarkarov,
    recruited from Khachmaz, shot Afig Tarlanov dead. At that time the
    Defense Ministry also attempted to present the case in a different
    context but then it became clear that the soldier was shot by his
    fellow-in-arms due to bullying. I can state numerous other similar
    examples.

    Therefore, I would recommend to the Defense Ministry to try not
    to hurry with making conclusions or release any commanders from
    responsibility. Commanders must bear responsibility for all such
    tragedies. It is necessary to point to commander of the Shemkir unit,
    general Chingiz Shafiyev that he bears the direct responsibility for
    the repeated capturing of our soldiers by Armenians in his direction
    and for those soldiers who died "owing" to bullying.

    I can not understand the position of the Defense Ministry which tries
    to justify its officials, though the victim is still in the reanimation
    department, he was not even questioned about how he was injured. The
    Defense Ministry state stubbornly that it happened due to the "weak
    will", while there are witnesses who saw that Allahverdiyev was shot
    by his junior commander, that they argued and the sergeant fired on
    the soldier. In the next 2-3 days we will learn whether Allahverdiyev
    will live or doctors will not manage to rescue him".
