    Azeri soldier sent to jail for high treason


    Baku, 26 February: Former soldier of the Azerbaijani national army
    Emin Quliyev has been sentenced to 14 years in prison on high treason
    charges. The verdict was passed by the Azerbaijani Military Court for
    Serious Crimes presided over by Nazim Movsumov on Wednesday [25
    February].

    A source in the court told Turan that Quliyev was found guilty under
    Article 274 of the Azerbaijani Criminal Code (high treason).

    Quliyev was in Armenian captivity from March to November 1993 and was
    set free through the mediation of the International Committee of the
    Red Cross.

    According to investigation materials, he maltreated other Azerbaijani
    POWs, informed Armenians of talk among them and gave an interview
    against Azerbaijan to an Armenian TV channel.
