Full mobilization to be announced in Azerbaijan
August 03, 2010 | 17:58
Male citizens of Azerbaijan aged 18-45 who want to leave the country will be denied visas at foreign embassies. Visas will only be issued to persons going on business trips, an Azeri businessman who was denied a visa told the Yeni Musavat newspaper.
“I wanted to go to Dubai, but the embassy denied me a visa, through I go there several times a year. I went to the Chinese Embassy and they denied me as well. I said I would complain, but an embassy staffer told me the Azerbaijani Government instructed them not to issues visas to males aged 18-45,” the businessman said.
The newspaper conducted an investigation and found out that all the foreign diplomatic missions in Azerbaijan have followed this principle over the past month.
Talking to the newspaper, an expert pointed out males aged 18-45 are subject to mobilization. He advised looking for the reasons in the Azerbaijani authorities’ militant rhetoric.
“Males aged 18-45 are not allowed to leave the country, as about 50% of Azerbaijani citizens of this age are outside the country. If the rest leave, it will cause problems in case of mobilization,” the expert said.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Didn't we had some sort of general call to mobilization and/or call for people to be prepared too some months ago? I remember there was an article about it on Azatutyun radio, that all men between these and these ages were being called to report.Originally posted by KarotheGreat View Post
Besides, there are some things that I could find on these issue and I think are interesting. News.am were the only source who independently spoke about "general mobilization", citing the newspaper Yeni Musavat, all other news sources I could found were only linking back to news.am. However, I did an extensive research on the Yeni Musavat newspaper, and the only news somehow related to the ones presented in news.am where this one, where it basically speaks about problems of Azerbaijani citizens aging 18 to 65 to get visas to go the UAE, but that the problem has been solved.
Also, this same news was reported on tert.am in this link.
Besides all that, I could find these article in the Russian news Novyi Region in this link. It basically speaks about the cease fire violations increasing number, reports on Azerbaijani airplanes flying near NKR airspace border, drawing a comparison with Georgian airplanes flying over South Ossetia that developed into the August 08 war, Karabakhtsis speaking about tension after the June 18 incident, and Hmayak Hovhannisyan saying that Armenia is very vulnerable in the military sense because its loses mean danger for the entire Armenian population.
I couldn't find anything speaking about Azerbaijani men being prohibited from flying outside of Azerbaijan, and "experts" speaking about a possible mobilization.
If anyone else found something it might be interest to check it.Last edited by ashot24; 08-04-2010, 05:40 PM.Comment

Four Arrested In Armenian Army Death Probe
Armenia -- Lieutenant Artak Nazarian, undated.
04.08.2010
Anush Martirosian
Amid continuing allegations of a cover-up, the Armenian military announced on Wednesday the arrests of four servicemen in connection with last week’s suspicious death of a junior army officer.
Military investigators acknowledged that Lieutenant Artak Nazarian was ill-treated by at least one fellow officer and soldiers of his unit stationed in the northeastern Tavush region bordering Azerbaijan. They effectively insisted, nonetheless, that he shot himself while on combat duty.
A statement by the Defense Ministry said a criminal investigation into the incident, which has shocked many Armenians, is being conducted under a Criminal Code article that deals with “inducing suicides” through violence and humiliation.
One of the reported detainees is Captain Hakob Manukian, a deputy commander of the battalion where Nazarian had served since last November. The ministry statement said Manukian is suspected of beating up and humiliating the 30-year-old officer in a way that led to “severe consequences.”
According to the Defense Ministry, the three other detainees, all of them army conscripts, also assaulted Nazarian. No further details were reported.
None of the four men has been formally charged yet. The accusation that can be leveled against Manukian carries between three and eight years’ imprisonment, while the three soldiers are facing the possibility of up to twelve years in jail.
Nazarian’s relatives say a forensic examination of his exposed numerous injuries to his face, hands, shoulders and feet, which they believe were inflicted several hours before the shooting. They on Wednesday stood by their view that he was killed by other servicemen.
“They have no intention to solve the crime. They are simply covering it up,” Nazarian’s mother, Hasmik Hovannisian, told RFE/RL’s Armenian service, commenting on the announced arrests.
“I am convinced that it was a murder, not a suicide,” said Sona Nazarian, one of the lieutenant’s two sisters.
The relatives said earlier that Nazarian, who enrolled in contractual military service in November, had difficult relations with his commanders. They said he was treated as a “weak” officer who can not harshly impose his will on soldiers.
According to the military, Nazarian was found dead at an army outpost on July 27, the day before an even more serious incident that occurred in another frontline unit. Six soldiers were shot dead there in still unclear circumstances.
The shootings are widely regarded as being the result of chronic abuse and mismanagement within Armenia’s Armed Forces. Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian has assured the victims’ families that “all necessary measures are being taken to identify the causes of the incidents and hold the guilty accountable.”
