is possible and even logical

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The publication on Real Azerbaijan
website is very interesting, especially in the light
of close military and strategic ties between Georgia
and Azerbaijan, an Armenian expert said.
`The editor-in-chief of Real Azerbaijan, Eynullah
Fatulayev has been in prison for a long time, his
newspaper has been banned. Taking into account the
pressure of some European countries to release or
mitigate his sentence, this publication may turn out a
canard for his absolute discredit in order to deprive
him of any chance of amnesty dated to Heydar Aliyev's
85th birthday,' Eduard Abrahamyan, expert at Mitq
analytical center told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
`Azerbaijan's `delivery' of Afghan mujahids to Georgia
is possible and even logical. No one should forget
that during the Karabakh war, Azerbaijan hired
militants from various countries, including thousands
of mujahids from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Besides,
continuing recruitment of former military throughout
the CIS has become a good tradition for Azerbaijan,'
he added.
`As to Georgia, it can accept friendly assistance for
the purpose to bring to minimum its losses in
hostilities against Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Moreover, Georgia thinks over the possibility of
formation of separate military units consisting of
representatives of national minorities, including
Armenians and Azeris, who will first of all be thrown
into the bloody mess,' he concluded.
It's worth mentioning that on May 4, 2008, Real
Azerbaijan newspaper posted on its website an article
titled `Will Azerbaijanis help Georgia?'
(http://realazer.at.ua/news/2008-05-04-3 65), telling
about the possibility of Azerbaijan's military
assistance to Georgia in case of war against Abkhazia.
Meanwhile, a relevant publication by PanARMENIAN.Net
aroused hysteria in Baku.
Real Azerbaijan's website was removed from the server.
However, PanARMENIAN.Net brings to the readers'
attention the screenshot of the website and a
reference in Google.
The article that aroused Azerbaijan's confusion says
in part,
`Azerbaijan intends to assist Georgia in resolving its
territorial problems.
For the purpose, Baku-Kabul flights suspended in March
2008 will be resumed. Trained Afghan mujahids and
large lots of weapons are expected to be airlifted to
Azerbaijan and then to Georgia, Real Azerbaijan
website reports.
According to preliminary data, some 500 Afghan
commandos trained in British camps will arrive in
Georgia. In operation against Abkhazia and South
Ossetia, they will use weapons received from their
British sponsors, thus protecting Azerbaijan from
`coming into the spotlight.'
Reliable sources report that Azeris are being
recruited in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine
and several other states with numerous Azeri diaspora.
The recruitment is conducted under supervision of
"Azerbaycan Diasporasi" chairman Fikret Veliyev,
chairman of Murmansk division of the All-Russian
Azerbaijani Congress Rafik Badirov, president of
federal national and cultural autonomy of Azeris of
Russia Sayun Sadykov. Not only ordinary Azeris but
also students of Moscow and Kyiv universities are
recruited.
Head of the department of political studies of the
Azerbaijani presidential administration Fuad Akhundov
and chief of the division of foreign policy planning
and strategic studies at the Azeri MFA Tofik Musayev
have been commissioned to coordinate the Azeri
diaspora's work.
1.5-2 thousand prisoners, who committed grave crimes,
will be granted amnesty on occasion of Heydar Aliyev's
85th birthday. It's expected that half of them will be
sent to Georgia as well.
The process of Azeri units' formation was speeded up
after Russian heavy artillery, weapons and equipment
and additional troops crossed Georgia's state border.'
