Another terrorist from Azerbaijan who was declared internationally wanted by Interpol has been liquidated, as it has been reported by the Azerbaijani News Agency APA.

As the law enforcement agencies of Azerbaijan have told APA, 39-year-old resident of Fizuli region Mushfig Bayramov who fought in the armed groups in Afghanistan, has been killed by the forces of international coalition.

The information that Mushfig Bayramov is under the international investigation was available in the official website of Interpol.

According to the information posted on the website of Interpol Mushfig Bayramov spoke Azerbaijani, Russian as well as Pushtu languages. He was accused of creating armed groupings, arming them and fighting in illegal armed groups outside Azerbaijan.

Note that APA on the 10th of February reported that 36-year-old Azer Yusubov, a resident of Sheki region, who had been under the international investigation of Interpol, was killed in Afghanistan by the forces of international coalition. A few days before that APA reported that 39-year-old resident of the town of Khudat Urfan Aghjabekov was liquidated in Syria who as well was under the international investigation.

Note that recently there has been an increase in the reports of elimination of Azerbaijani terrorists. Since the beginning of 2014 APA Azerbaijani News Agency has reported about the elimination of 18 terrorist from Azerbaijan in Syria.

Since last year the media has reported about liquidations of Azerbaijani terrorists in Syria. In early April of 2013, the Turkish sites have reported that about 30 terrorists from Azerbaijan were killed in Syria while by January of 2014 according to Azerbaijani News Agency APA the number of liquidated Azerbaijani terrorists in Syria equaled to 100. Azerbaijani terrorists even placed an online video-record in the Internet calling for "jihad”.

The relationship between international terrorist groups and Azerbaijan originated in the early 1990s. That time, the Azerbaijani army, having failed in the aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), retreated with losses. Trying to save the situation, the Azerbaijani leadership, headed by Heydar Aliyev attracted to the war against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh international terrorists and members of radical groups from Afghanistan (groupings of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar), Turkey ("Grey Wolves", etc.), Chechnya (groupings Basayev and Raduyev etc.) and some other regions.

Despite the involvement in of thousands of foreign mercenaries and terrorists in the Azerbaijani army during the war, the Azerbaijani aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic failed, and the Baku authorities were forced to sign an armistice with the NKR and Armenia. However, international terrorists found ties in Azerbaijan, and used them in the future. Recruitment was conducted among Azerbaijanis, who then were sent to Afghanistan and the North Caucasus, where participated in the battles against the forces of the international coalition and Russian organizations.

In recent years, the citizens of Azerbaijan are actively involved in terrorist and extremist activities in Russia, Afghanistan and Syria. In Azerbaijan the citizens are brought to criminal liability for participating in "illegal armed groups" in Afghanistan, sentenced to minor terms of imprisonment.
