Russia, Moscow / corr. Trend R.Agayev / "The condition of Agaly
Alishev, who received a gunshot wound during a serious fight between
Azerbaijani and Armenian youths at the end of a festive event on 1 May
which was held in the Moscow-based Russian University of Friendship
of People, is said to be stable,"
Agaly Alishev, who is in Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 64,
exclusively informed Trend Special Correspondent in Moscow that on 1
May, a fight occurred between Azerbaijani and Armenian youth at the
conclusion of a festive event which was held in the Moscow-based
Russian University of Friendship of People. As a result, several
Azerbaijanis received gunshot and knife wounds. Aghali Alishev,
22, who was wounded in the incident was operated on at Hospital 64,
within the Russian Capital.
Alishev said that the Armenians had provoked the young Azerbaijanis
to fight several times. Witnessing the Armenians dancing and raising
the flag of the un-recognized self-proclaimed separatist regime of
Nagorno-Karabakh, the Azerbaijani students warned them to stop. The
Armenians ignored the requests and they began to distribute
Anti-Azerbaijan literature amongst students of the University
regardless of the protests from the Azerbaijanis.
According to Alishev, three Azerbaijanis were wounded in the fight.
One of them received a knife wound in his neck, the second on his
arm and the third youth received a wound to his leg as a result of
shoot from an air rifle.
According to the information provided by the Embassy of Azerbaijan
in Moscow, the facts of the incident are being clarified together
with the Moscow's law-enforcement. Obruchevsky Interior Department
of Moscow is expected to file a criminal case.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus appeared in
1988 due to territorial claims of Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenia
has occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani lands including Nagorno-Karabakh
region and seven surrounding Districts. Since 1992 to the present
time, these territories have been under the occupation of the Armenian
Forces. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement
at which time the active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France and USA) are holding peaceful
negotiations.
