Bodies of failed attackers, unwilling organ donors surface in AzerbaijanSeptember 8, 2012 - 18:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Soldier of N-military unit in Nakhichevan Jafarov Rebbie, born in 1993, and “wounded in the head by Armenian sniper on July 13,” has died, Azerbaijan Defense Ministry said. Jafarov died in the hospital, where he was placed after the injury, Azeri media said. In all probability, Jafarov Rebbie is another victim of failed Azeri attacks at Armenian border launched in June-July 2012. Back then, 21-25 Azeri soldiers were reported killed in Tavush-Ghazakh area, while Azeri side never mentioned the victims. Later, Azeri corpses started surfacing through reports of drowning, mine blasts, road accidents or “victims of Armenian snipers.” Clearly, the official Baku wouldn’t confess that the soldiers in the “mightiest Azeri army” have perished in a failed attack against Armenia and Artsakh. There’s another reason one shouldn’t forget about. Recently, a scandal broke out over Azeri trafficking of organs removed from dead soldiers. The scandal occurred in early August, when Azeri media released a statement by a soldier’s mother, suggesting the organs of her son and his 7 co-servicemen were sold abroad. Later, an open letter of Toulouse-based former Azeri serviceman was published, where Ragim Namazov revealed that Azeri military units in Nakhichevan are engaged in the sale of soldier’s internal organs. Recently, Zerkalo Azeri newspaper has released а statement by the mother of Azeri soldier Irada Mamedova, who said that heart and liver were removed from the body of her son who claimed to have committed a suicide.
