Baku. Ramil Mammadli -APA. The hearing on the case of former officer
of Azerbaijani Army Kamran Asadov and 19 others was continued in the
Military Court of Grave Crimes on Thursday. APA reports that judge
Islam Neymanov presided over the process. Accused Hajibala Huseynov
answered the questions of the judge and prosecutor, who asked him
about the ideas from the CD-recorded messages he had and operations
in Iraq, Chechnya and Afghanistan.
Judge Rashid Huseynov asked Hajibala Huseynov about his Islamic
mission.
Huseynov said he never called for the armed jihad and anti-State
activity. He said he got a religious education to be Imam. He
talked about the Caucasian Muslims Office's attitude to him. He said
Sheikh-al-Islam Allahshukur Pashazadeh met with him and other students
on their graduation from the Baku religious lyceum in 2003. "They
presented me Holy Quran and offered me Imamat and teaching in one
of the mosques of Gazakh. I am invitatory of Islam and making clear
the religious disputes in my messages. I never group the people and
never call for the fighting".
There were disputes between prosecutor Oruj Jalilov, judge Islam
Neymanov and accused persons, arisen from Huseynov's speech "I hate
Armenians and if I kill five Armenians in Syria, they will arrest
me. Azerbaijan will judge me again instead of defending. There are
Armenians in Azerbaijan too. You will arrest me if I kill them".
Accused Kamran Asadov said that there were 40 thousand of Armenians
in Baku. "Why you don't expel them from Baku?"
The prosecutor and the judge protested these ideas.
The hearing will be continued in the second half of the day.

Kamran Babayev, Samir Mehbaliyev, Terlan Karimov, Edgar Aliyev,
