PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV HOLDS MEETING WITH HEADS OF LAW-ENFORCEMENT BODIES
Baku, February 11 (AZERTAC). President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has today presided at a meeting of heads of law-enforcement bodies over the murder of commander of Azerbaijan Defense Ministry`s Air Force and Air Defense Troops, Deputy Defense Minister Rail Rzayev.
Opening the meeting President Ilham Aliyev said:
“I strongly condemn this bloody crime and extend my profound condolences to Rail Rzayev`s family and friends. May Allah rest his soul in peace!
I demand from law-enforcement bodies that all committers of this terrible killing and plotters be brought to trial. I know that investigative groups have been formed, the work is underway, and there is initial information. Azerbaijani government has huge possibilities, and every perpetrator should be and is held accountable for the criminal act against us - state system and civilians. I want to say against that Azerbaijan government is capable of defending itself. Our people suffered acts of terrorism in early 1990s, which killed innocent people. We witnessed it during various periods. Nevertheless, all these bloody cases were cleared and criminals have been punished. During various times, some forces make attempts to exacerbate political situation in Azerbaijan. However, Azerbaijani public knows very well that law-enforcement bodies take very possible measures to prevent these crimes, apprehend and annihilate gangs. I hope that perpetrators of this terrible act will face criminal charges.
