Baku: decline in Azeri soldiers’ deaths reported in non combat situations

Decline in Azerbaijani soldiers’ deaths has been reported recently in non combat situations, military prosecutor Khanlar Veliyev said

“Unfortunately, cases of suicide and premeditated murder are recorded in the army units, however, as the statistics shows decline in the number of those cases has been observed recently,” Veliyev said.

Dwelling on the suicides committed in the army, the prosecutor noted that “most the units are positioned at the frontline, the situation being rather tense there.”

“In some cases the enemy is positioned at a distance of only 50-100 meters, causing stress and cases of suicide,” the prosecutor said, adding that often violation of laws and lack of discipline also causes emergency state in the army.

Increased instances of Azeri ceasefire violation have been reported recently.

Sources say that up to 25 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri attacks in recent days in Tavush- Ghazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

Azerbaijani authorities try hard to concoct reasons behind the deaths and injuries on its side. In fact, these are saboteurs, killed or wounded by Armenian armed forces who were trying to hinder Azeri attacks. Thus, according to Azerbaijani authorities, Azeri soldiers commit mass suicide, get blown up by mine, and die in accidents.
