Soldier"s father believes his son was killed and demands punishment of the perpetrators

Father of a soldier  Orkhan Alyev, who died on 11 December 2013 in one of the military units Naftalan city last year when he was on duty, said his son was murdered. He accused the investigation  of hiding this crime.

"My son was murdered. He was beaten to death. I reject the findings of the investigation and forensics. Examination claims that my son died from hypertrophy cardiomyopathy. May Allah bestow such a diagnosis  to those who  say it and  to their children," said on January 30 at a press conference at IRFS Shirazi Alyev, Orkhan’s father. O.Alyev was drafted with Surakhani district of Baku.

According to the medical examination , the soldiers did not wake up and died of hypertrophy cardiomyopathy. But the family does not believe a medical examination.

According  to S.Alieva , two days before  the departure  his son underwent a medical examination at the Central Hospital of Petroleum Workers. Father  showed  medical certificates attesting that his son was completely healthy. "Orkhan  ranked the first place in the regiment on running, and was awarded the  by a Commander. My son was physically healthy,  he won competitions  and has athletic body," said S.Alyev.

He showed the letters received from the military prosecutor's office and printing of  phones from mobile operators Bakcell. Thus, in a letter  of the Military Prosecutor's Office to  the  family of the deceased alleged that the soldiers died on December 11 at 00:10 .

However, according to prints made from Bakcell  on December 11 at 00:25  Orkhan spoke with his brother on the phone. 

"It all happened in front of 32 people living in the barracks. When my son was talking on the phone with his brother  there  began a dispute, after which he was killed. All of them, a murderer  and witnesses  were there. However, nobody was arrested for the  murder," said Sh.Alyev.

He noted that , without notifying the family, without examining  the  crime scene  by the  prosecutors , his son's body was taken away for examination  to Tartar  region. "There they put ice on the bruises to conceal wounds.  His undershirt  which was very important for investigation was withdrawn. Internal organs were also seized for the purpose of sale. Under the law, parents were to be present during a medical examination, but they  informed us about our son’s death very late," said Sh.Alyev.

He appealed to the President of Azerbaijan for assistance to find guilty of  his son’s murder, and punish those who falsified the investigation.

"We ask you to help in identifying and arrest the murderer of my son, punish those who withdrew his internal organs for sale, who falsified the investigation, who gave a false expert opinion, exhumation and re-examination. We are citizens of Azerbaijan and love our homeland," reads the appeal  of Alyev to  the president. -03C06-
