Aravot, Armenia Azerbaijan kills soldiers accused of spying for the Republic of Armenia Politician Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan touched upon the recent sensational spy scandal in Azerbaijan. Let us remind, that about four dozen soldiers were arrested, accused of spying for the Armenian side. “They were killed in unknown circumstances by law enforcement bodies, and were buried in close coffins, without any explanations what had happened to them”, the politician informed about the latest news available in Azerbaijani media. He also noted that the Defence Minister of Azerbaijan and the Chief of the General Staff are in competition trying to neutralize each other’s personnel by accusing them of spying in favor of the Republic of Armenia. “There is also some information that the arrested officers were planning an armed rebellion”. Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan believes that the arrest of the officers is also connected with the fact that they refused to participate in the border incidents provoked by Azerbaijan in January-February.
