Year after the bloody drama in Azerbaijan’s State Oil Academy (ASOA)
the criminal case went to the trail. Let’s recall, on April 30th, 2009
stranger went into the Education Building shooting all passersby
people rising from first to the sixth floor. 15 minutes later in one
of the empty audiences was found corpse of the alleged killer, later
body was identified as a citizen of Georgia, Azeri by origin Farda
Gadirov. Farther we’ll talk about the circumstances of murder and
killer’s identification, now let’s turn to the courtroom and
prosecutor’s charge.

Thus, in prosecutor’s indictment, after a lot of stories about the
dedicated work on identifying offender’s accomplices, was reported…
the customer of this mass murder in Baku’s State Oil Academy was
Armenian man Mardun Gumashyan. Mardun Gumashyan’s name already is in
the list of Interpol marked as internationally wanted. Not for the
first time Azerbaijan resorts to the Interpol services with unfounded
requests that are usually rejected by the authoritative organization
by the reason of weak and not appropriate evidence base. Undoubtedly,
Interpol will reject Azerbaijan’s request this time also. Here’s why.

Since April 30th, in Azerbaijan vigorously seek for the `Armenian
trace’ of this high-profile crime. Naturally, it was found. It turned
out that Farda Gadirov was born and grew in Dashtepe village of
Marnauli’s district in Georgia which is located… near the Armenian
village Shulaver of the same region. It was the first significant clue
of Azeri intelligence agencies. However, during the investigations
were found even more interesting details: it turned out that Farda
Gadirov four months – from April to August 2008 – worked as auxiliary
worker in the parquet factory shop of Podolsk city. This not
remarkable fact in Farda’s biography turned into a major `exposure’:
Prosecutor General’s Office of Azerbaijan earnestly declared that
General Manager and Head of shop in the above-mentioned factory were
Armenians Alexander Kocharov and Edward Mkrtumyan. That is not all:
Azeri investigators managed to count 28 more Armenians among the
workers of the same factory. Here of course, it’s easy to get cranky
from all of the mentioned facts. Returning in Dashtepe Farda recorded
the video message on mobile phone’s camera describing his desire to go
to Baku and kill there passerby people. `Wait Baku I’ll come!’

But even in Dashtepe Farda found an Armenian! Azeri investigators
maniacally looking for the `Armenian trace’ in the mass shooting of
students found that the killer was familiar with the Armenian man
Sergey Grigoryan, and even once took a trip to the capital of Georgia
with him. In the previous reports of the Prosecutor General’s Office
of Azerbaijan, the list of Armenians in any way connected with Farda,
terminated on Grigoryan. However, in the indictment appeared Mardun
Gumashyan, Shulaver’s baker, he together with his schoolboy-sons,
`mainly concerned with: the baking bread in the bakery (built in their
house), and selling it from their own bakery to stores’. As contends
prosecutor `the big shot’ Mardun promised to pay Farda Gadirov and
other Azeris: Djavidan Amirov, Najaf Suleymanov, Nadir Aliyev etc.
`others are not identified yet’ $50000 for committing of mass
terrorist act in Baku city. Exclusively `based on the national
hatred’.

Further events are like clockwork: Azeris hankered for `easy money’
agreed to kill their tribesmen, it happened on April 30th of the last
year. However, the defendants Djavidan Amirov, Najaf Suleymanov, Nadir
Aliyev refused to plead their guilt, covered their ears and turned
back to the court during reading of indictment, even so, nothing was
changed. Prosecutors, concocted the indictment `based on the national
hatred’, made their work. Now everyone in Azerbaijan knows: one
Armenian village baker is able not only to buy the group of Azeris but
also to force them to kill dozens of their tribesmen in center of
Baku.

Of course, Azeris are free to believe to their prosecutors: like
priest, like flock. We won’t bother them by our questions, although it
is very interesting, why would anyone search for the man with Interpol
aid’s, if his residence place is well known? However, abstaining from
questions, let’s try to restore year ago events.

Thus, April 30th, 2009, at 9:30 am unknown man entered the second
building of Baku’s Oil’s Academy and opened fire to kill. Climbing the
stairs he shot everyone, who had the misfortune to be on his way.
Approximately after 13 – 15 minutes the shooting ceased. 10 more
minutes later, came police without clue whom should they disarm. 15
minutes after that police found the body of a young man in the empty
audience. Almost immediately thereafter head of the press service of
the Prosecutor General’s office of Azerbaijan Eldar Sultanov stated
that the offender destroyed; (!!! L.M.-Sh.) and that it was the
citizen of Georgia Nadir Shirhan-oglu. Three hours later was
announced, that the offender is the citizen of Georgia, Azeri by
origin Farda Asad-oglu Gadirov. Few hours later was arrested…Nadir
Shirhan-oglu Aliyev. He was alive and unharmed. As it turned out Nadir
Aliyev together with Farda rented the room in Baku.

The fact that Nadir Aliyev’s name appeared in publication right after
the corpse finding of the alleged killer is enough to accuse
Azerbaijani law-enforcement agencies, at least, in failing to prevent
the mass shooting of students. In Azerbaijan knew about the
conspiracy!

We won’t declare that Azerbaijani law-enforcement structures prepared
this crime – submitted video to a certain degree proves Farda
Gadirov’s independent decision – but we have reasons to declare: the
Prosecutor General’s Office of Azerbaijan at least, was informed about
the impending assault. According to its organization’s information (or
according to its plan) precisely Nadir Aliyev had to commit the
suicide, or to be killed. Cold-blooded killer shot people without the
mask; it’s evident from the testimony. Farda’s corpse, found in the
empty audience, was wearing mask! Hard to assume that before the
suicide Farda put on mask. Rather, his murderer pulled the mask over
the face. Azeri inspectors preferred do not explain how and why on
Farda Gadirov’s face appeared mask; however, this circumstance
asserts: the mask misled prosecutors, who stated that Nadir Aliyev is
offender.

Let’s recall to some of other interesting indications of those days.
Thus, the high-ranking officer of Azerbaijani police stated to
journalists that his colleagues `followed Farda (!!! – L.M.- Sh.) and
he escaping the unavoidable arrest, ran into the building of Oil
Academy, where he began to shoot people’. Another officer told, that
`thanks’ to police efforts Farda’s terrorist attack in the subway, was
averted (!?- L.M.-Sh.) it could lead to more numerous victims’.
However, even if we would assume that Azeri policemen preferred to
invent in intrinsic to them manner some kind of the mythical events,
in order to preserve MVD’s `esprit de corps’, then the story of a
certain unnamed instructor cannot be ignored.

Academy’s instructor described to the APA journalists that at the Oil
Academy entrance she saw two black cars; people inside didn’t react on
the confusion and shots inside. These cars drove off before the police
arrival but after the firing calmed down, as soon as the tall young
man came out of the Academy and sat in one of them. Hard to believe
that these cars were also purchased on the money of Shulaver’s baker.

Comparing all facts, there are no reasons to doubt: tragedy in the
State Oil Academy was prepared and cold-bloodily carried out by
Azerbaijani intelligence agencies. Another question is: why would they
need it? As it appears to be, this entire story directly referred to
the initialed one week earlier the tragedy Armenian-Turkish protocols,
as well as to the speech of US President Barrack Obama on April 24th,
2009. As we know, B. Obama called the Armenian Genocide of 1915-23
years in Ottoman Turkey by the Armenian equivalent of the term
`genocide’ – Mets Ehern. Let’s also recall that shortly before the
tragedy the ex-minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Ali Babadjan,
commenting the approach of presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict stated: `major barrier overcame –
demonstration of the political will by the parties’.

Undoubtedly: after the signing of protocols and Obama’s speech
Azerbaijan had to demonstrate its own political will. As we know,
it’s, usually determined by the fear degree and population will’s
paralyses. Regarding managers, car drivers and bakers, all of these
characters must be sought in the depths of Azerbaijani intelligence
agencies. In any case, one `baker’ operates in the bowels of
Prosecutor General’s Office of Azerbaijan Republic.
