Azerbaijani expert refuted intelligence officer's statement about 40
thousand Armenians living in Baku
A senior intelligence officer of Azerbaijan who preferred to remain
anonymous told the website `Gunxeber.com' that around 40,000 Armenians
supposedly live in Baku. "They are not registered, they do not have
documents. They do not work, do not get a pension, but live well. And
this is a serious threat to Azerbaijan, and in particular for its
capital, especially in such a sensitive period, before the
presidential election. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies
should undertake serious steps concerning this issue," said the
anonymous source.
As the site notes, it was 10 years ago when the government of
Azerbaijan officially stated that 30,000 Armenians reside in Baku. It
turns out that the number of Armenians in the city increased by 10,000
during 10 years. Commenting on this information in an interview with
the website, the head of Migrant Centre Aliovsat Aliyev noted that
currently 20,000 Armenians are registered in Baku. According to him
this figure could only go down due to deaths and migration out of the
country.
"There are Armenians who have problems and live without documents.
They live here giving themselves either as Azerbaijanis, or by other
names, or take the surnames of Azerbaijani fathers. A number of
problems arise in this regard. Now there are a number of cases in the
courts related to the Armenians", the expert says, noting that it is
impossible to have incensement in the number of Armenians in Baku as
most of them live alone, without family.
The head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of
Azerbaijan Orhan Mansurzade refused to disclose the number of
Armenians "living" in Baku. He advised to refer to the State
Statistics Committee for this information. As the site says, the
census in 1999 showed that only 400 people identified themselves as
Armenians, and 100 people in 2009. "It is interesting, what kind of
documents do the rest of Armenians use in Baku? How do they live in
Baku endangering their lives? " inquire the site.
