Rauf Mirkadyrov does not bearer of secrets - Civil Society

Baku/23.04.14/Turan : Civil society activists and opposition members believe that  accusations against Rauf Mirkadirov  of treason are unfounded. In particular , the Director of the Media Rights Institute ( IPM ) Rashid Hajili said: " The version  by authorities about the reasons for  the arrest of  Mirkadirov  is unlikely. The real cause can be a tough critic  by Mirkadirov the  policy of Russia, and Putin personally . Therefore, the Kremlin could be the initiator of this arrest  with the  hands of the Azerbaijani authorities.

But there is another  version, which seems to me the most likely: behind the  arrest of  Mirkadirov can stand the Armenian authorities ," wrote Hajily on his page on Facebook.

First, the main target of criticism of  Mirkadirov were  the Armenian authorities .

Secondly, the person with whom collaborated Mirkadyrov,  is  in fierce opposition to the current president of Armenia. Armenian authorities could play this game and make  the  Azerbaijani authorities  believe it.

     Baku  could be entrapped because of its  thirst reprisals against civil society activists, Hajili  believes. The leader of " Musavat" Isa Gambar, also does not believe  in the accusation of treason.

"The statement about  spying for a foreign country is very serious accusation, and should be based on irrefutable evidence, " Gambar said. He is convinced that  such facts have  not been investigated.

Gambar does not exclude that the Turkish government is fighting with supporters of Nurchu theologian Fatullah Gulen,  and  demanded the authorities of Azerbaijan to render them harmless in Azerbaijan, Baku , in turn , decided to punish  the Azerbaijanis  dissidents living in Turkey.

Gambar also does not exclude that Baku took such a step at the request of Russia .

Expert in the field of media rights,  Alasgar Mammadov believes legally unfounded   the accusations  of Mirkadirov’s espionage, and in particular the transfer of military information to them.

According to him, the law of Azerbaijan has no concept of "military secrets ."

This kind of information is  related to state secrets . Article 5 of the Law on State Secrets mentions military information not to  be disclosed. They are compiled by the Ministry of Defense, and this agency is responsible for their safety.

Mirkadyrov himself could not be the bearer of military information relating to state secrets.

    Responsibility for the disclosure of such secrets are the ones who owned the data and was  had access to  the information.

Therefore, the arrest of Mirkadirov, should be followed by the arrest of  people who are responsible for the storage of classified information .

Mammedli mentioned a an example  the "Wikileaks." In the case, along with Julian Assange , was brought to justice the American soldier, who  passed him secret information . -06B-
