EX-AZERI OFFICIAL SLAMS ALIYEV GOVERNMENT
20:57 ~U 20.06.13
A former Azerbaijani official has criticized President Ilham Aliyev's
administration, comparing it with a beheaded chicken.
According to Haqqin.az, Isa Sadikhov, an ex deputy minister of defense
who is now on the international wanted list, made the statement while
commenting on the authorities' decision to launch an international
search.
"The authorities, experiencing a feeling of agony, behave like beheaded
chickens,. They do not have to search me as I am where I am supposed
to be. As for them, there will be no need search them because we are
not planning to 'let them out' of the country. Very little is left
till their demise," the former official said in a Facebook post.
The Azerbaijani Military Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday made a
decision to add Sadikhov's name to the international wanted list
over a criminal case with two decades' history. The charges against
the former deputy minister were dropped in 2001, but the legal was
re-launched last year. No details of the case are known except the
fact that Sadikhov was prosecuted for abuse.
The former official, residing in Norway since 2011, said recently
that he is closely following the developments in his country and has
plans to return to Azerbaijan and, upon necessity, join the opposition
National Council party. Analysts reportedly see political motives
behind the renewed prosecution.
