Use of arms against police in Nardaran – terror act

Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 30

By Ilhame Isabalayeva - Trend:

Use of arms against police in Nardaran was a grave crime, said Mubariz Gurbanli, chairman of Azerbaijani State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations.

Gurbanli's comments come in the aftermath of killing of two police officers in Nardaran township Nov. 26 during a police special operation there.

During the operation in Nardaran, located 25 km northeast of Baku, four members of a criminal group, operating under the guise of religion, were killed, while 14 group members were arrested along with their ringleader Tale Baghirov.
"This is actually regarded as a terror act," he told reporters Nov. 30 referring to the use of weapons against the police.

He further commented on the use of various religious banners in Nardaran.

"Some people in Nardaran use the banners that are considered religious attributes, the propaganda and spread of which are banned by the law. Inappropriate slogans are written on the walls in Nardaran's center. This can't be allowed and should be banned by the law," said Gurbanli.

He also noted that the use of various banners in the township is contrary to the law.

Gurbanli said only Azerbaijan's national flag should be flown across the country.

He also noted that most of the residents in Nardaran strongly condemn those who organized the incident in the township and caused a confrontation with authorities and government structures.

"But, undoubtedly there can be accomplices of various foreign circles in Azerbaijan. This can also become apparent in the Nardaran incident, in the acts of radical extremist groups in other places. This all will be investigated by corresponding structures," said Gurbanli.
