Azerbaijan arrested Wagner’s warriors as criminal wars, violating the post -Soviet that had been preceded.
In Azerbaijan, Wagner’s warriors were arrested, which fought for Russia in Ukraine. This is the first time the post -Soviet Country is chasing Kremlin’s mercenaries. The media calls this incident not only a “step -by -step step that rejects Russia’s influence in the South Caucasus,” but also “an active collapse of the entire post -Soviet system by Moscow authorities”.
The first arrest
Two Azerbaijanis Ramil Aliyev and Ismail Hasanov served a deadline to Russia’s correction colonies before they were recruited to Wagner as part of Project-K and sent to fight in Ukraine, reports EuromidanPress Resource.
Today Baku law enforcement officials have accused Aliyev and Gasanov of crimes related to mercenaries or terrorism. Noteworthy, these allegations are beyond the Azerbaijan’s internal law. That is, this is a decision for all former Wagner warriors: they will be treated not as veterans, but as criminal wars.
The court issued a decision on preventing Aliyev and Gasanov, and arrested them.
The resistance to Russia’s influence
According to EuromidanPress, the decision to persecute Wagnerians is part of a wide move to the Azerbaijan position in connection with Moscow.
“Instead of a quiet distance itself, Baku is actively fighting Russia’s influence on some fronts: military, political and information. Arrests are associated not only with justice or legality, but also to stop Russia’s influence,” the material said.
As the mercenaries from Wagner now are pursued, Azerbaijan is actually criminal with its citizens’ participation in this Russian proxy structure.
Journalists remember that this court’s decision took place after searches and detention in the Sputnik Azerbaijan office.
“Although that episode focuses on soft power, Arresting Wagner is something else: they marked the onset of strict legal action against the Russian hybrid military in the Azerbaijani land. No other country of the region has conducted such a tough legal line that makes this moment ahead, “EuromidanPress added.
Union with Kyiv
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan has strengthened the connections to Ukraine both in practical and symbolic terms. Recently, Baku was sent to Ukraine’s expert military equipment for cleaning.
“Azerbaijan clearly supports Ukraine on key security issues, which simultaneously attacks Russia’s secret networks at home … a deeper shift is hiding behind it all,” the resource letter.
Not now Baku is trying to balance between the East and the West, he actively removed Russia’s influence in the South Caucasus, said journalists. For Moscow, it is not only a diplomatic headache, but a strategic defeat.
“Generally, suppression against Wagner is not just a step intra -government; they change the regional scene. The relatives of Russian mercenaries as criminals, and not as veterans, Baku signal the rest of the post -soviet world that Russia’s former dominant dominance policies are no longer valid. The soft and difficult tools of Russian forces are broken from the inside, ”the resource summarizes.
