    In case of war Azerbaijan will render Georgia at least
    diplomatic assistance
    06.05.2008 16:33 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ There is no real confirmation that
    weapons and mujahids will be transported from Kabul to
    Georgia via Azerbaijan, a Russian expert said.

    `Azerbaijan and Georgia are close in their positions,
    since they collaborate within GUAM and implement joint
    economic (Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi railroad) and
    military projects. To what extent is Azerbaijan ready
    to get involved in the conflict? Appearance of the
    Afghan factor will play into the hands of the
    incumbent leadership's rivals,' head of the
    interethnic relations department at Moscow's Institute
    of Political and Military Analysis Sergei Markedonov
    told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    `Nevertheless, Azerbaijan will render Georgia at least
    diplomatic assistance, for these two states experience
    similar territorial problems,' he added.

    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.'
