Azerbaijan’s Defense Minister is in danger of losing his post.

Azerbaijani parliamentarians named the Defense Minister responsible for recent deaths in the army. The parliamentarians admitted the bloody incident where an Azeri serviceman shot his 7 fellow soldiers dead to be among many similar ones in the army. The MPs lay the blame of neglecting the situation on the Defense Minister, too busy with preparations of war with neighbors to mind the intolerance atmosphere in the army.

According to Azeri media reports, Karabakh Liberation Organization demanded dismissal of the Defence Minster and the head of the General Staff “to save the Azeri army”.

Apparently, a storm is brewing over the head of Abiyev. The situation in the Azeri army is critical, and judging by the situation, the current Defense Minister will be dismissed. The problem lies in finding a suitable candidate for the position. It’s unlikely that a person, assuming a ministerial position will refuse to be involved in corruption, busing himself with army problems instead.
