Baku, September 3, AssA-Irada

Alikram Humbatov, who was released from life imprisonment by a
presidential decree on Friday, has been deprived of Azerbaijani
citizenship.

Humbatov, who was not military trained and managed to receive the
rank of colonel within a short period thanks to his foreign supporters
and former defense minister Rahim Gaziyev, is noted with his handing
over the positions of the Azerbaijani military units in Garabagh to
Armenians and committing crimes against local residents. Humbatov,
who was collaborating with special service bodies of foreign countries,
which were against Azerbaijan’s independence and, who declared himself
the president of the self-proclaimed “Talish Mughan Republic” in
the summer of 1993, was sentenced to life imprisonment after Heydar
Aliyev came to power. Gaziyev played “a great role” in carrying out
Humbatov’s separatist actions.*

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
