    AZERBAIJANIS, WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN SYRIA, DEMAND SHARIA TRIAL IN BAKU

    18:19 02/04/2015 >> LAW

    An incident occurred during the trial of the Azerbaijani mercenaries
    who had fought for terrorist organizations in Syria. The defendants
    refused the lawyers provided by the state declaring that they did
    not recognize the laws of Azerbaijan and that only Sharia court
    could judge them, which, as they said, would prove their innocence,
    Azerbaijani media outlet Haqqin.az reports.

    The defendants refused to testify and said they would keep silent
    during the whole court process. The next hearing is appointed on
    April 9, the article reads.

    According to the article, the trial of Tural Hasanov, Elvin Aliyev,
    Farid Muradov, Namiq Mammadov, Tariel Mustafayev and Ruslan Mustafayev
    is chaired by judge of Baku court of grave crimes, Anvar Seidov.

    "The investigation revealed that those accused of joining the terrorist
    group ISIS have participated in the battles in Syria against Bashar
    Assad's troops. Each of them faces accusations under articles 12.1, 28,
    123, 214.2, 228.1 of Criminal Code of Azerbaijan," the article reads.

    Note that Azerbaijani Salafis or Wahhabis are fighting in the ranks
    of various terrorist groupings that operate in Syria, Afghanistan
    and Pakistan. According to the Azerbaijani news agency Vesti.az, the
    total number of Azerbaijani terrorists in these countries equals 300.

    Whereas according to FaktHeber Azerbaijani portal, over the past three
    years only in Syria almost 200 Azerbaijani terrorists were killed.

    The relationship between international terrorist groups and Azerbaijan
    originated in the early 1990s. Then, the Azerbaijani army, having
    failed in the aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR),
    retreated with losses. Trying to save the situation, the Azerbaijani
    leadership, headed by Heydar Aliyev, attracted to the war against the
    Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh international terrorists and members of
    radical groups from Afghanistan (groupings of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar),
    Turkey ("Grey Wolves", etc.), Chechnya (groupings Basayev and Raduyev
    etc.) and some other regions.

    Despite the involvement of thousands of foreign mercenaries and
    terrorists in the Azerbaijani army during the war, the Azerbaijani
    aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic failed, and the Baku
    authorities were forced to sign an armistice with the NKR and Armenia.

    However, international terrorists found ties in Azerbaijan, and used
    them in the future. Recruitment was conducted among Azerbaijanis,
    who then were sent to Afghanistan and the North Caucasus, where
    participated in the battles against the forces of the international
    coalition and Russian organizations. In recent years, the citizens of
    Azerbaijan are actively involved in terrorist and extremist activities
    in Russia, Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq.
