Mubariz Ahmedoghlu: "If the video tape about the so-called violence in the Azerbaijani army is true, it should have been presented to official structures first"

I am not an expert to assess the authenticity of the video tape about the so-called violence in Azerbaijani army, but I am sure that if it was really true, this material should have been brought to official structures first", said Mubariz Ahmedoghlu, head of the center of political innovations and technologies.

He noted that the appearance of this video tape in the internet is not timely, as the presidential elections of Azerbaijan will be held soon on the one hand and after the events in South Ossetia Armenians state that Azerbaijan fears to make bellicose statements, on the other hand.

"Violence is partially present in the army of any state. 32 servicemen died in Armenia in the first half of 2008, by official statistics. In the end, the Armenian ombudsman intends to hold investigation in the armed forces personally.

Now Armenians try to use any, even insignificant, negative fact to throw shadow on Azerbaijan and its armed forces", said Ahmedoghlu.

He said it should be admitted that Azerbaijani armed forces are currently much stronger than the armed forces of Armenia and Georgia.
