Azerbaijani media have released shocking details of the testimony of
Islamic State (ISIS) member, Azerbaijani citizen Fuad Movsumov
arrested on charge of killing gendarmerie and police officers in
Turkey a few months ago, Azerbaijani information outlet Oxu.az reports
citing Virtualaz.org.
According to the article, Azerbaijani citizen Fuad Movsumov and two of
his comrades-in-arms drove from Turkish Khatay region to Istanbul in a
rented taxi. The officers of gendarmerie and police stopped their car
near the settlement Ulukisla. When the Turkish security service
officers tried to search the car, the extremists opened fire on them.
As a result, a gendarmerie officer and a policeman were killed. The
Azerbaijani citizen and his comrades-in-arms were arrested. Their
trial is expected to take place in the near future but a decision
concerning its place has not yet been made.
According to the article, it can be assumed from the Azerbaijani
terrorist's testimony that he moved into Turkey in 2013 and tried to
find his friend Araz with whom he had got acquainted when the latter
was in Azerbaijan. He found his family in Istanbul who told the
Azerbaijani that Araz had left to fight in Syria against Bashar
al-Assad's forces and joined the group of a man nicknamed Omar
al-Shishani. According to the information of Oxu.az, the latter is
"the most authoritative field commander" of ISIS - Tarkhan
Batirashvili born in village of Birkiani, located in the Pankisi
Gorge.
As the article has it, the Azerbaijani also met his friend's wife
Aida, and returning to Turkey in March stepped into religious marriage
with her.
In its turn, the outlet highlights that Turkey is a corridor to move
into Syria from many foreign countries. "Some time ago the Turkish
sources reported that the Azerbaijani youth, attracted to fight in
Syria, is first taught jihadist ideology in mosques in Istanbul," the
outlet writes adding that their transfer to Syria is organized later
on. Some Azerbaijani extremists' families stay in Istanbul, and some
leave for Syria.
Despite the fact that several Azerbaijanis, who wanted to join ISIS,
were detained in Turkey, the intelligence agencies of that country do
not take up proper measures to prevent their recruitment and transfer
into Syria, Oxu.az writes.
Azerbaijani terrorists are fighting in the ranks of various terrorist
groupings that operate in Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. According
to the Azerbaijani news outlets, over the past three years almost 200
Azerbaijani terrorists have been killed in Syria alone. News outlets
have more than once reported the liquidation of commanders among
Azerbaijani terrorists.
The relationship between international terrorist groups and Azerbaijan
originated in the early 1990s. That time, the Azerbaijani army, having
failed in the aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR),
retreated with losses. Trying to save the situation, the Azerbaijani
leadership, headed by Heydar Aliyev, attracted to the war against the
Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh international terrorists and members of
radical groups from Afghanistan (groupings of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar),
Turkey ("Grey Wolves", etc.), Chechnya (groupings Basayev and Raduyev
etc.) and some other regions.
Despite the involvement of thousands of foreign mercenaries and
terrorists in the Azerbaijani army during the war, the Azerbaijani
aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic failed, and the Baku
authorities were forced to sign an armistice with the NKR and Armenia.
However, international terrorists found ties in Azerbaijan, and used
them in the future. Recruitment was conducted among Azerbaijanis, who
then were sent to Afghanistan and the North Caucasus, where
participated in the battles against the forces of the international
coalition and Russian organizations. In recent years, the citizens of
Azerbaijan are actively involved in terrorist and extremist activities
in Russia, Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq.
