In 1993, Azerbaijani OMON squads committed terrorist acts in Georgia
and South Ossetia in order to blockade communication of Armenia with
the external world, said veteran of special purpose police unit (OMON)
of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan Rogdai Karaev.
Karaev was enrolled in OMON after giving his service at the troops
attached to the Interior Ministry of the USSR in 1990. He was
transferred to the intelligence service group as soon as the NKR
Self-Defense Forces liberated Shushi on May 1992.
Speaking about the events of 1993, he mentioned, "Taking into
consideration my experience, they could not fire me, but gave me
instructions firing me from OMON. I was assigned to the central office
of the Interior Ministry within two months. During that period we
succeeded an operation which I would like to mention. We left for
Taganrog with a large sum of money. Here, we illegally acquired
helicopters and smuggled them in to Azerbaijan. There were two more
operations in Georgia, in Ossetia, where we took up steps for cutting
off access of trains with fuel to Armenia," he said.
R. Karaev stated that Azerbaijani OMON committed even more covert
actions, however, he did not talk about them. "After the fall of
Shushi, I was transferred to the intelligence service group. But there
have been operations about which that I cannot speak even now, after
20 years. I am not authorized to talk about those operations. Maybe
in some 50-60 years it will be okay talking about them," noticed
veteran of Azerbaijani OMON Rogdai Karaev.
Karaev also noted that Azerbaijani OMON suffered heavy losses in
Karabakh, losing about 50% of its personnel. Besides that, he did
not deny casualties among civilians with Armenian nationality during
"Operation Koltso (Operation Ring)" which was conducted by the Soviet
troops and the Azerbaijani OMON in 1991. He also mentioned that after
the Horadiz operation in 1994 Azerbaijani army became exhausted and
could not advance. Karaev also noted that situation for Azerbaijan
in direction of Gianja was tough in that period.
