    EXPERT: AZERBAIJAN SHOULD STOP EXPLOITING SOVIET DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry should stop
    exploiting soviet-era defense technology, including MIG-29 jets used
    for air border defense," said Alekper Mammadov, head of the center
    of democratic civil control over the armed forces.

    On January 28, MIG-29 crashed during a training flight, killing both
    pilots - Fahreddin Askerov and Afghan Aslanov.

    Earlier, MIG-29 jets also crashed in Russia, Malaysia, Peru, Slovakia
    and Armenia.

    "The crash was caused by some technical faults but not incompetence of
    the pilots. Incidents in some states prove spoilage in production,"
    the expert said adding that the parachute ejector mechanism was
    apparently out of order.

    Azerbaijani Defense Ministry's spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu said that
    it's incorrect to put forth versions unless the flight recorder is
    found, Trend reports.
