The ban on providing secondary schools with weapons prevents holding
"high-quality lessons on basic military training" in Azerbaijan, Deputy
Education Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Gasimov said at a public debate
on development of the State Program on Azerbaijani Youth in 2011-2015.
"It is banned to provide schools with weapons for practice in
accordance with the Defense Ministry's special order. The ban must
be lifted. Schools must be provided with weapons," he said.
Earlier Baku took certain actions to train school students as snipers.
Specifically, snipers' courses were established under Azerbaijan's
Voluntary Military Patriotism Technical Sport Society.
During these courses, the Azerbaijani youth will study technical
indicators of snipers, hand-to-hand fighting. Sniper rifles and
fitness machines have already been purchased from Russia for use in
the courses.
Similar programs are in accordance with the continuous threats of
the Azerbaijani leadership on war resumption in Karabakh and huge
volume of arms purchased by that country. Probably, having conceived
the fact that weapons themselves will bring no use, Baku decided to
bring up a generation of young soldiers, exploiting the hatred towards
Armenians instilled in these young people. The Azerbaijani children
are destined to become cannon fodder, which can be used for a "great
idea," unless the young kamikazes annihilate each other in schools,
in which weapons will be distributed.
