    19:53 30/04/2014 » SOCIETY



    Azerbaijani authorities have banned to commemorate the victims of the
    terrorist attack at Azerbaijan State Oil Academy (ASOA), reports the
    Azerbaijani news portal "Minval.az."

    "No commemoration ceremony regarding the attack will be held in
    Azerbaijani State Oil Academy. No need for this," stated the
    vice-rector of ASOA Gasim Mammadov.

    According to him, 5 years has passed since this incident and the
    students who studied at the Academy at the time have graduated it
    already. "We see no need to excite our students once again with such
    kind ov events. The government regarded it as a terrorist act. These
    types of incidents occur in the higher and secondary educational
    institutions of the most advanced and developed countries. No one is
    insured against terrorism, and such accidents can happen anywhere in
    the world," he noted.

    The Vice-rector also advised the people to stop mourning the terrorist attack.

    Azerbaijani news portal "Haqqin.az" reports that today Azerbaijani
    State Oil Academy was cordoned off by the police.

    Note that on 12 April 2009 as result of clashes in Oil Academy 12 men
    were killed and 13 wounded. Farda Gadirov, the initiator of clashes
    committed suicide on the spot. Those accused of the conspiracy,
    Javidan Amirov, Nadir Aliyev, Najaf Suleymanov were sentenced to life
    imprisonment. Arif Gabulov was sentenced to 11 year imprisonment.
    Except Suleymanov all the defendants confessed that they had testified
    under pressure.

    Ghumashyan Mardun Grigorevich, 60-years old Armenian, citizen of
    Georgia was named as the customer of the massacres in Oil Academy of
    Azerbaijan. It was reported that he was under the investigation of
    Interpol. However, correspondent of newspaper Yeni Musavat Tofig
    Yagublu determined to find out the truth went to Georgian village
    Shulaver and without any help from Interpol found Ghumashyan in the
    courtyard of his house. The interview with 60-year-old baker became a
    sensation. As it turned out Mardun Ghumashyan didn't know anything
    about Farda Gadirov who initiated the massacres in Oil Academy.

    Moreover, when Ggumashyan learnt that Azerbaijani authorities declared
    him a `terrorist', he appealed to the General Prosecutor's Office and
    Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, where he learnt that
    Azerbaijan made no appeals about his arrest. On its turn, Azerbaijani
    newspaper Zerkalo appealed to the law enforcement bodies of Georgia.
    `Person on duty of Ministry of Internal Affairs told our correspondent
    that the Ministry didn't get any appeals in regard to Mardun
    Ghumashyan. This proves that Ghumashyan told the truth,' Zerkalo
    wrote.
