THEY IN AZERBAIJAN CONSIDER CASE OF TWO "DEFECTORS" FROM ARMENIA AS
FAILURE OF AZERI SPECIAL SERVICES
YEREVAN, JUNE 11. ARMINFO. The case of two "defectors" from Armenia
is considered in Azerbaijan as a failure of the Azeri special
services.
To remind, Roman Taryan and Artur Apresyan appeared in Baku in Apr
2004 asking for temporary political refuge and transit to a third
country but they are still in a solitary confinement cell of the
Azeri National Security Ministry.
The "pearl" of Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian propaganda was the ANS TV
company showing quite recently the "defectors" as saying a year
before that "they could no longer stand conditions in Armenia and
came to Azerbaijan on their own will to go to a third country." They
also thanked Azeri National Security Minister Namik Abbasov for
granting them sports suits.
But now the Azeri propaganda machine has got entangled in its own
misinformation net. In the May 21 Echo representative of Center for
Legal Information Support Alovsat Aliev says that the Taryan-Apresyan
case looked very much like a fraud from the very beginning. This is a
political issue. They were forced to receive political refuge.
Everything was very unreal and framed up. The Azeri authorities must
have done this to show themselves a democratic state ready to help
even Armenians. Taryan and Apresyan may well have been Azeri spies in
Armenia in the past. This may well be true, says Aliev.
Pro-governmental MP Siyavush Novruzov also hints that Taryan and
Apresyan may be former Azeri spies. The bubble of the Azeri
propaganda is that they could no longer remain in Armenia and fled to
Azerbaijan on their own will. And now this bubble is about to blow up
in the eyes of Azeri society. Earlier Deputy National Security
Minister Suilhamid Akper said that there are many unclear
circumstances in the case. The very case is due mostly to the
incompetence of the Azeri special services. And it will give no
result. This is impossible. What they did is simply inadmissible.
Now Baku sources are confirming what was evident from the very
beginning. An Armenian would seek better life everywhere but not in
Azerbaijan. Obviously this was dangerous for their life and as Akper
said "gave no result."
The inability of the Azeri authorities to send the "defectors" to a
third country for over a year already is one of the unforeseen
complications. The fact is that the Azeri authorities are forced to
keep Taryan-Apresyan locked because they cannot feel themselves at
home in their "new homeland."
When Aliev asked the Azeri National Security Ministry about the
expediency of keeping Taryan-Apresyan in the cells of the special
services the response was that this was impossible because of the
defectors' nationality.
In fact the Azeri authorities have got into their own trap. Promising
security to the Nagorny Karabakh Armenians they cannot ensure one for
just two their own agents in their own capital. This makes ridiculous
their propaganda that 20,000 or 30,000 Armenians presently live
freely and peacefully in Azerbaijan.
