‘FSB to be blame for Gaziyev murder’

Baku/Agency Caucasus – Former Chechen Republic of Ichkeria representative in the capital city Baku of Azerbaijan who was killed on November 19 was laid to rest amid accusations from Chechen refugees that The Russian intelligence service FSB was to blame for the murder. 

"It was only the Russian intelligence service that wanted him to be murdered–which means that only the FSB could be blamed for the murder," said Ramzan Mollayev, Chairman of the Chechen Refugees’ Council of Azerbaijan, when he spoke on November 20 at a service in a Chechen school in Baku.

Gaziyev, 42, was shot dead while he was on his way to home after he left his car in a park lot late at night in the Baku district of Binagadinsky. "He did not have an enemy. He was not involved in illegal or criminal affairs, either. He was only active in humanitarian projects. He was a man of love," said Mollayev on the day of Gaziyev’s murder.

The Chechen Republic of Ichkeria’s Representative Office in Azerbaijan was closed down after the Nord Ost theater house came under a raid in Moscow, Russia’s capital.
