The Azerbaijani army is about to face a new scandal as the parents of
an army private reported to have committed suicide claim their son was
killed.
The death of the soldier, Ivanov Elman Yuzuboglu, was confirmed by the
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry on Saturday.
Speaking to a journalist of the opposition-run newspaper Azadliq, the
parents said they had observed traces of stab wounds on the back of
Ivanov's head.
According to Haqqin.az, the family doesn't believe their son could
have committed suicide, saying that they every day talked to him on
the mobile to know he was in high spirits. Days before the tragic
incident, Imanov was promoted to a sergeant's rank.
In 2012 alone, 76 deaths were recorded in the Azerbaijani army. Of
them, 17 cases were suicides and 12 - murders by fellow servicemen.
The other army privates were reported to have been killed in
casualties (including border tensions across the Armenian Azerbaijani
Contact Line).
