The leader of the so-called “Karabakh Liberation Organization” AkifNagireleased a statement, according to which, as a result of the conflict escalation in the beginning of April, it is necessary to release the fighters of the AzerbaijaniSpecial Purpose Police Unit(OMON) from jail and send them to the first line of the front, Faktxeber reports.

In Nagi’s opinion, the publicattitudetowards the OMONfighters should change “radically,” as it is necessary “to really take into account the service these people provided.” Many of them are still serving a life term in prison, the website reports citing Moderator.az.

The “Karabakh Liberation Organization” leader thinks that since the “well-known events” (the anti-state rebellion initiated by theOMONfighters in March of 1995), much time has passed, and the imprisonment has “cleaned their guilt long ago.” The public opinion about the Special Purpose Police Unit fighters in Azerbaijanshould be presented“in a positive light,” and they should be released and sent to the front.
“They need to be given a new chance of showing themselves in the battlefield.Alltheimprisoned OMONfighters should be released and sent to the front,” he sums up.
