/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan intends `to assist
Georgia in resolving its territorial problems.’

For the purpose, Baku-Kabul flights suspended in March 2008 will be
resumed. Trained Afghan mujahids and large lots of weapons are
expected to be airlifted to Azerbaijan and then to Georgia, Real
Azerbaijan website reports.

According to preliminary data, some 500 Afghan commandos trained in
British camps will arrive in Georgia. In operation against Abkhazia
and South Ossetia, they will use weapons received from their British
sponsors, thus protecting Azerbaijan from `coming into the spotlight.’

Reliable sources report that Azeris are being recruited in Russia,
Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and several other states with numerous
Azeri diaspora.

The recruitment is conducted under supervision of "Azerbaycan
Diasporasi" chairman Fikret Veliyev, chairman of Murmansk division of
the All-Russian Azerbaijani Congress Rafik Badirov, president of
federal national and cultural autonomy of Azeris of Russia Sayun
Sadykov. Not only ordinary Azeris but also students of Moscow and Kyiv
universities are recruited.

Head of the department of political studies of the Azerbaijani
presidential administration Fuad Akhundov and chief of the division of
foreign policy planning and strategic studies at the Azeri MFA Tofik
Musayev have been commissioned to coordinate the Azeri diaspora’s
work.

1.5-2 thousand prisoners, who committed grave crimes, will be granted
amnesty on occasion of Heydar Aliyev’s 85th birthday. It’s expected
that half of them will be sent to Georgia as well.

The process of Azeri units’ formation was speeded up after Russian
heavy artillery, weapons and equipment and additional troops crossed
Georgia’s state border.
