As we had reported earlier, according to Alain Ghulyan’s “Facebook” information, one of the Azerbaijani subversives, Akhundov Abdulmejid, who decapitated Artsakh army soldier, ethnic Yezidi Kyaram Sloyan was destroyed by Armenian forces during the days of war in April.
Aravot.am asked Ashot Movsisyan, an expert of Azerbaijani studies, whether there is information about the said soldier in the press and social networks. “Abdulmejid Akhundov, an Azerbaijani army soldier conscripted from the city of Sumgayit was killed during the four-day war when penetrating to a territory under the control of Armenian forces, therefore, his corpse is on the Armenian side. During the exchange of corpses under the mediation of ICRC, the latter’s corpse was handed over to the Azerbaijani side. There were no signs of torture on any corpse transferred to Azerbaijani side, including on this soldier,” said Ashot Movsisyan.
As it was mentioned, in the photo, Abdulmejid Akhundov was showing the famous gesture of fingers of Turkish “Grey Wolves” organization. “The murdered soldier shows the sign of “Grey Wolves” terrorist organization which symbolizes the head of a wolf. The wolf is considered the totem of Turkic tribes,” explained Movsisyan, adding that the “Grey Wolves” is a Turkish nationalist left-wing organization, “After the collapse of the Soviet Union, during the tenure of the second President of Azerbaijan, Abulfaz Elchibey, the Turkish nationalist movement began very active in Azerbaijan and participated also in the Artsakh war.
Today, the ideology of the “Grey Wolves” movements is widely spread among the Azeri community. The Armenian identity has become a joint target of Azerbaijani and Turkish nationalism, hence the private under the ideological influence of “Grey Wolves”, certainly, exists in the Azeri army. All this is done with the permission of the Azerbaijani authorities. Certainly, Turkey is also cajoled by this.” Our interlocutor said that the anti-Armenianism propagated in Azerbaijan for 25 years and the consequences of hatred towards Armenians “delivered” to Azerbaijani children since the cradle are more than obvious today, “Torturing the corpse of an Armenian is perceived by Azerbaijani nationalists as a sign of bravery and heroism, and this is also supported by the country’s leadership. The evidences are many: Ramil Safarov, Ibad Huseynov … The atrocities committed during the recent hostilities showed that this wave is intensified. Indeed, the torturing of the bodies of the soldiers of the Armenian Army is a deliberate step and the appearances therefor in the social networks is not accidental. Thus, first of all, an attempt is made to create an atmosphere of fear among the Armenian society and Armenian soldiers. Therewith, Baku is trying to create a problem for us too. According to them, the parents living in Armenia seeing all this must do everything that their children do not serve the army in Nagorno-Karabakh, which I think is a failed plan.
In addition, therewith, Baku is trying to create new “heroes” for its domestic audience in the face of these executioners.” We asked Movsisyan to describe the rejoice of such ferocity and civilization in making it a heroism, “Definitely, this proved that it is not enough to tell the world that the militants of the “Islamic State” are terrorists as they are killing civilians and decapitate the captives, both military and civilian. We witnessed that our enemy is moving ahead exactly in the same way, for which decapitating a soldier is a heroism. For us, this is not the handwriting of “IS” but Baku’s. When once such atrocities were carried out against Armenians in Azerbaijan, the “IS” was not existing,” concluded Ashot Movsisyan.
