Azerbaijan kills soldiers accused of spying for the Republic of Armenia

Politician Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan touched upon the recent
sensational spy scandal in Azerbaijan. Let us remind, that about four
dozen soldiers were arrested, accused of spying for the Armenian side.
“They were killed in unknown circumstances by law enforcement bodies,
and were buried in close coffins, without any explanations what had
happened to them”, the politician informed about the latest news
available in Azerbaijani media.

He also noted that the Defence Minister of Azerbaijan and the Chief of
the General Staff are in competition trying to neutralize each other’s
personnel by accusing them of spying in favor of the Republic of
Armenia. “There is also some information that the arrested officers
were planning an armed rebellion”. Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan believes
that the arrest of the officers is also connected with the fact that
they refused to participate in the border incidents provoked by
Azerbaijan in January-February.
