/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The investigations showed that junior sergeant
Ruslan Bekirov aged 21 called up by the Shamkir military commissariat
and held captive by Armenians February 15 – May 7, 2005 was “secretly
collaborating with the Armenian special services, reported APA news
agency citing the Azerbaijani Ministry of National Security. It was
found out that February 15, 2005 being mislead by Armenians Ruslan
Bekirov, Hayal Abdullayev and Hikmet Tagiyev committed group desertion
to the detriment of the state security, sovereignty, territorial
integrity and defense capacity of Azerbaijan.”

Bekirov was released with the mediation of the International Committee
of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Immediately after returning he confessed in “collaborating with
Armenians”. However it was cleared up that Bekirov’s testimony was “a
part of the plan elaborated by the Armenian special services”. Later
he said Armenians carried out a purposeful work with him, Abdullayev
and Tagiyev. 7 meetings were held with him after what he was
given pseudonym Ramin. Armenians promised $3000-4000 for each task
fulfilled. Member of the Armenian special services, who introduced
himself as Rudik, instructed Bekirov how to set explosion on the route
of the Azerbaijani President, on Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and
in the international airport after Heydar Aliyev as well as how to take
photos of the Azeri strategic objects and then send them to Armenia.

The above mentioned facts were completely proved by the investigation
and court. The Military Board of the Court on grave crimes Bekirov
and Abdullayev were sentenced to 12 years and Tagiyev to 11 years
of imprisonment.
