Descriptions of love-cases of Azerbaijani soldiers and commanders,
not towards the country, but towards the other soldiers are so many
that one can really get shocked, the author of "Sexual offences in
Azerbaijani army" article published on Repin.info website writes.
The author of the article notes, that he decided to look through the
informative materials on the topic of the Azerbaijani army after he
read the message in the media about how Malinovsky District Court in
Odessa approved of the decision of Ukraine's Prosecutor General's
Office to grant extradition to a serviceman of Azerbaijani Army
detained in the Odessa, who was accused of organizing a series of gang
rapes with his comrade-in-arms. Here's what he managed to find out.
In 2011, while in the hospital Yusuf Geybatzade repeatedly beat
and raped another soldier who was being treated too. When another
soldier saw all this, Gaybatzade beat him too. This soldier reported
to the commander of his squadron and the case was transferred to the
military prosecutor's office. Finally Ganja military court sentenced
the offender to eight years in prison for the torture and abuse of his
comrade-in-arms. "There is no concept of male-rape in the Azerbaijani
judicial system," the author explains.
The article noted that the Gaybatzade case was not the first in the
Azerbaijani army. Thus in August 2010, three Azerbaijani servicemen
- Askerov, Shirinov and Mehtiev were convicted for sexual offence,
extortion and hazing towards their comrades-in-arms. In April of
the same year junior sergeant Arif Gurbanov was sentenced to 8 years
imprisonment for regular sexual offences towards his comrades-in-arms.
In 2011, Senior Sergeant Mammadov and Pvt. Huseynov have been convicted
for two and a half years imprisonment for committing sexual offence
towards ten of their comrades-in-arms. "It's noteworthy that Huseynov's
punishment was later reduced to nine months," the author writes.
"But the most amazing case was that of Emin Rahimov's, Togrul
Bagirov's and Yusif Yusifov's. These three magic heroes raped the
whole platoon. There were 28 victims found in this case. Factually
three amative soldiers turned the whole platoon into their harem,
and enjoy their sexual services at any time they wished," the author
notes, and stresses that all this was taking place during passing
the military service in the post on the border with Nagorno-Karabakh.
The platoon commander Lieutenant Shamil Tagiyev and his deputy,
lieutenant Ramal Emrahov condoned all this and were engaged in their
own business. "What business could be on the area where there is
an incessant war going on for twenty years, it's a big mystery,"
stresses author of the article.
Another case is related with the first lieutenant Anar Azizov,
who regularly raped recruits. The author refers to the Azerbaijani
newspaper "Bizim Yol", which states that according to the military
rank, the appeal did not pass his hands from the beginning, so the
exact number of victims is unknown. He managed to rape six in the
final appeal. This became known to their relatives. Only after the
assault of the military unit this man was arrested.
On January 28, in 2010 in the artillery battalion, located in Dashkesan
region, two first year soldiers shot a group of officers.
Four were killed, two - wounded. According to the reports of the
military command, the murderers had shot themselves. However, according
to the human rights activists, they were shot for concealment of the
motive that drove them to commit the crime - one of them was raped
by the officers, the second was a warned that he was the next.
The author also writes that recently the Azerbaijani newspaper
"Zerkalo" reported about sexual offense of a serviceman by commander
of the unit. Armed Forces leadership immediately stated that it is a
blatant slander. However, Yashar Jafarli, the head of the Azerbaijani
public association "Retired officers and officers in reserve" confirmed
the fact of the crime, and stated that the practice of "officer rapes"
is widely used in this area.
To the question, how does the leadership of Azerbaijani army respond to
these egregious facts, the author quotes the words of the head of the
press service of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan, Colonel-General
Eldar Sabiroglu: "It is not violence; the amount of testosterone in
the blood of the youngsters increases because of the good food. That
is, cases of sexual offence in Azerbaijani Armed Forces are eloquent
testimony of good nutrition of our soldiers.
Notice, that the Armenians do not rape the young. This is the first
sign that the Armenian soldiers are starving."
