The appeals to strengthen security in the educational institutions have become more frequent following a tragic event in the Azerbaijan State Oil Academy. 

"Twenty educational institutions have signed a contract with the Interior Ministry's Central Security Department after the tragic event," Deputy Interior Minister Oruj Zalov said during discussions on amendments to the Law on Police in the parliament.

A gunman attacked Azerbaijan State Oil Academy on April 30. According to preliminary reports, the gunman entered the Azerbaijan State Oil Academy in Baku and climbed five floors of the building, shooting everyone he met along the way and killed 12, wounded 13. The attack was committed by 29-year-old Georgian citizen Gadirov Farda Asad oglu by Makarov pistol.

Three cartridge-belts with capacity of 40 bullets and 71 bullets and two magazines were seized from the body of the killer.

A suit has been filed on murder for hooliganism purposes (120.2.2), brutal murder (120.2.4), murdering more than one people (120.2.7), and an attempt of murder (29, 120.2.7) and illegal storing of arms (228.1). 

Zalov said Central Security Department provides security on a high level under a contract.

"Some universities provide their own security without arms. Central Security Department's workers are more skilled and hold arms," Zalov said.
