21:14 17/10/2013 " SOCIETY
The so-called "Karabakh Liberation Organization" established
in Azerbaijan has issued a statement condemning "the attacks on
Azerbaijanis" living in Russia. The statement sent to the Russian
Embassy in Azerbaijan, reads that "if the attacks at Azerbaijanis"
in Russia will not stop, then "adequate measures" will be undertaken
towards the Russians living in Azerbaijan, reports Azerbaijani portal
"Haqqin.az", in an article entitled "Baku calls for Russian pogroms."
As the portal notes, "KLO" led by Akif Nagi stands close to the
pro-government circles in Azerbaijan. The statement said that if Orhan
Zeynalov's falt is proved, then he should be punished. Otherwise,
the KLO says, it is inadmissible to declare Orhan Zeynalov a criminal,
and "to start smear campaign against Azerbaijan on this basis and to
nurture anti-Azerbaijani sentiments in Russia."
"We inform the Russian press that ethnic Russians live on Azerbaijani
territory for more than 200 years, and no pressure is used against
them," the KLO notes.
The statement also reads that "the patience of the Azerbaijani
people is not infinite" and Russia should not force them to undertake
"adequate measures."
"Azerbaijanis leave for Russia legally and comply with all the laws
of the Russian Federation. If they do not want to see Azerbaijanis
there, then let them undertake appropriate laws and the Azerbaijanis
will no longer go there," the statement reads.
Azerbaijani organization has also put forward a number of requirements
in order to prevent ethnic clashes. Thus, according to the "KLO",
the Azerbaijani government should review its relationship with Russia,
"which holds an anti-Azerbaijani policy."
"KLO" demands from the Russian government to "stop this
anti-Azerbaijani campaign immediately, otherwise the Government of
Azerbaijan will be responsible for all the appropriate steps taken
against Russians in Azerbaijan."
In addition, according to the Azerbaijani organizations, the Russian
government should compensate the damage caused to Azerbaijanis during
the riots, and the police officers who used violence against Orhan
Zeynalov should be punished.
KLO also states that law enforcement agencies and the head of the
Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in particular have "biased stance
against Orhan Zeynalov", thus he should be extradited and tried in
Azerbaijan in this regard.
Concluding, the "Karabakh Liberation Organization" of Azerbaijan warns
for one more time that in case if the "anti-Azerbaijani campaign
in Russia" is not put to an end, then "adequate measures" will be
undertaken in respect of Russians in Azerbaijan.
According to the census held in 1989, the number of Russian population
in Azerbaijan amounted to 392 thousand. During 20 years, the number
of Russians in Azerbaijan decreased by more than 3 times. According
to the census of 2009, the population amounts of 119 thousand.
On Thursday, October 10, in a fight, presumably a native of
Azerbaijani, has stabbed and killed Yegor Shcherbakov, a Moscow
resident. On Saturday evening, residents of that district came out
onto to the streets, demanding to find the killer. On Sunday, a crowd
of nationalists together with residents of West Biryulevo district
sympathizing them, around 1,000 people, organized a pogrom at the
vegetable market where many immigrants from the CIS republics work.
Special purpose police unit arrived at the scene, and detained
about 380 protestors. Six police officers suffered during the arrest
including the Special purpose police unit battalion commander who
was seriously injured.
It is noteworthy that the girlfriend of the killed Yegor Shcherbakov
noted on the air of "Moscow 24" that she is against the rallies and
does not want to stir up ethnic conflict. At present investigation
of Shcherbakov's murder is under special control of the head of the
Moscow police.
Later, the police began to conduct raids against the migrants. Thus,
October 14, according to RIA "Novosti", 1,200 migrants have been
detained during a police raid on Pokrovski vegetable market in Western
Biryulevo in Moscow.
On October 15 the suspected murderer of Azerbaijani origin Orhan
Zeynalov was arrested in Kolomna near Moscow.
