Film 4 of 12 series movie "The moment of the truth" -"Bir anin hegigeti"/azerb/.
Going back, we must remind that in May 1993, when then - President Abulfaz Elchibey, a pro-Western nationalist, was about to sign the multi-billion dollar oil contract, the warlord Surat Guseynov launched a revolt from his power base in Ganja against the government. Mr. Guseynov, a young wool merchant and millionaire, was in close contact with the last remaining Russian troops in Azerbaijan, which were trained in Ganja. After repeatedly refusing the Azeri government's demands for several months to quit the garrison in Ganja, Russian troops unexpectedly left in late May 1993, leaving huge quantities of military hardware for the warlord. Within a few days, Mr. Guseynov, with his private army, marched into Baku, forced Mr. Elchibey to flee from the capital city and became Prime Minister. In fact, Mr. Aliyev himself made a comeback in the wake of Mr. Guseynov 's revolt in June 1993, becoming the Chairman of the Parliament and later President.
Saving his own rule and power, Aliyev accusing his opponents in "coup d'état" .
Rahim Gaziyev and Surat Guseynov seem to have taken refuge in Moscow.
Mr. Aliyev by himself angrily denounced Russia for its attempts to destabilize the situation in Azerbaijan. But it is not in Azerbaijani government interests to destroy the relationships with Russia. In this case it is easier to blame own people, especially if Presidential power under the threat of military officials like Rovshan and Mahir Djavadovs.
So, Djavadovs have been persecuted and accused in crimes.

Nagorno-Karabakh War
[show] v t e
Post-Soviet conflicts
The Nagorno-Karabakh War was an armed conflict that took place from February 1988 to May 1994, in the small enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in southwestern Azerbaijan, between the majority ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh backed by the Republic of Armenia, and the Republic of Azerbaijan. As the war progressed, Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former Soviet Republics, entangled themselves in a protracted, undeclared war in the mountainous heights of Karabakh as Azerbaijan attempted to curb the secessionist movement in Nagorno-Karabakh. The enclave's parliament had voted in favor of uniting itself with Armenia and a referendum, boycotted by the Azerbaijani population of Nagorno-Karabakh, was held, whereby most of the voters voted in favor of independence. The demand to unify with Armenia, which proliferated in the late 1980s, began in a relatively peaceful manner; however, in the following months, as the Soviet Union's disintegration neared, it gradually grew into an increasingly violent conflict between ethnic Armenians and ethnic Azerbaijanis, resulting in claims of ethnic cleansing by both sides.
Inter-ethnic fighting between the two broke out shortly after the parliament of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) in Azerbaijan voted to unify the region with Armenia on February 20, 1988. The circumstances of the dissolution of the Soviet Union facilitated an Armenian separatist movement in Azerbaijan. The declaration of secession from Azerbaijan was the final result of a territorial conflict regarding the land. As Azerbaijan declared its independence from the Soviet Union and removed the powers held by the enclave's government, the Armenian majority voted to secede from Azerbaijan and in the process proclaimed the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Full-scale fighting erupted in the late winter of 1992. International mediation by several groups including the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) failed to bring an end resolution that both sides could work with. In the spring of 1993, Armenian forces captured regions outside the enclave itself, threatening the involvement of other countries in the region. By the end of the war in 1994, the Armenians were in full control of most of the enclave and also held and currently control approximately 9% of Azerbaijan's territory outside the enclave. As many as 230,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan and 800,000 Azeris from Armenia and Karabakh have been displaced as a result of the conflict. A Russian-brokered ceasefire was signed in May 1994 and peace talks, mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group, have been held ever since by Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Battle of Aghdam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battle of Aghdam
Part of the Nagorno-Karabakh War
Date June 12, 1993 -- July 23, 1993
Location Aghdam, Azerbaijan
Result decisive Armenian victory
Following Operation Goranboy in 1992, the Azeri forces lost the control of the territory of former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast by mid 1993. During the military coup in Ganja by Colonel Surat Huseynov followed by political turmoil in Baku in June 1993, Huseynov's pulled his forces back from Karabakh front and marched on Baku. Taking advantage of the power struggle in Baku, the Armenian forces advanced on Agdam. The city of Agdam is located about 30 km northeast of Khankendi (Stepanakert). Azerbaijanis in Agdam and Armenians in Khankendi and Askeran would exchange heavy artillery fire. The shelling of Agdam became more intense starting from early March 1993.
[edit]The battle
The assault on Agdam started on June 12 from north and south of Agdam using Grad missile lanchers, heavy artillery and tanks. The campaign also included simultaneous assault on Tartar. The first attack on the city was repelled by Azerbaijani defense. The clash was marked by the death of Monte Melkonian, a famed Armenian military commander. Russian journalist Dmitri Pisarenko who filmed the clash later wrote that the tape had been confiscated by the enraged Commander in Chief of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army Samvel Babayan who was concerned that the failure of his army widely praised as "phenomenal" by the Russian media would negatively affect its image abroad. However, Armenians were able to capture Farukh mountain 10 km away from Agdam overlooking the town from the northeast. Khydyrly village around which Azerbaijani forces took up positions fell next. Shelling of Qiyasli village situated several kilometers behind the city of Agdam to the east, started on June 20 and within three days was overrun by Armenian forces resulting in death of Azerbaijani civilians[citation needed]. At the same time, the Armenian forces moved towards the city from the south capturing Merzili and Yusifcanlı villages. By July 5, the city of Agdam was surrounded by Armenian forces and was subject to heavy artillery and Grad bombardment. A massive exodus of Azerbaijani civilians was observed while Azerbaijani forces managed to re-take several villages. The city of Agdam fell on July 23. Within the next few weeks Armenian forces systematically looted and burned the city and surrounding villages. Smoke could be seen from ten to twenty miles away. According to the Western diplomat active in OSCE Minsk Group, the looting and burning of Azerbaijani city and villages was a well-orchestrated plan organized by Karabakh Armenian authorities.
During the offensive and capture of Agdam, the Armenian forces committed several violations of the rules of war including arson, hostage-taking and ethnic cleansing. The city of Agdam was looted and burned under orders of Armenian authorities. Some Azerbaijani soldiers who were captured by Armenian troops in Agdam and Tartar were shot on the spot.
[edit]Aftermath
Despite the national mobilization, Azerbaijani forces were able to retake only a few villages but not the city. Today the city lies in ruins and is used by the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army as a vital strategic defense point.
Following the battle of Aghdam, on July 25 ceasefire was announced by Karabakh Armenian authorities and Azerbaijani government. In the course of next three months, Karabakh Armenians with the support from Armenia captured four new Azerbaijani districts of Qubadli, Jabrayil, Fizuli and Zangelan resulting in displacement of 250,000-300,000 Azerbaijani civilians.
On July 29, 1993, UN Security Council passed the UN Security Council Resolution 853 reaffirming Resolution 822 and condemning seizure of Agdam and other areas of Azerbaijan demanding a complete withdrawal of Armenian troops from these areas and asking the Government of Armenia to exert its influence to achieve compliance by the Armenians of the Nagorno-Karabakh region in Azerbaijan.
Several villages such as Chirakhly and the city of Agdam became ghost towns. Other villages of the Agdam Rayon were repopulated by the IDPs from the former NKAO.

As Azerbaijan declared its independence from the Soviet Union and removed the powers held by the enclave's government, the Armenian majority voted to secede from Azerbaijan and in the process proclaimed the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Full-scale fighting erupted in the late winter of 1992. International mediation by several groups including the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) failed to bring an end resolution that both sides could work with. In the spring of 1993, Armenian forces captured regions outside the enclave itself, threatening the involvement of other countries in the region. By the end of the war in 1994, the Armenians were in full control of most of the enclave and also held and currently control approximately 9% of Azerbaijan's territory outside the enclave. As many as 230,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan and 800,000 Azeris from Armenia and Karabakh have been displaced as a result of the conflict. A Russian-brokered ceasefire was signed in May 1994 and peace talks, mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group, have been held ever since by Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Nagorno-Karabakh War
Post-Soviet conflicts
The Nagorno-Karabakh War was an armed conflict that took place from February 1988 to May 1994, in the small enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in southwestern Azerbaijan, between the majority ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh backed by the Republic of Armenia, and the Republic of Azerbaijan. As the war progressed, Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former Soviet Republics, entangled themselves in a protracted, undeclared war in the mountainous heights of Karabakh as Azerbaijan attempted to curb the secessionist movement in Nagorno-Karabakh. The enclave's parliament had voted in favor of uniting itself with Armenia and a referendum, boycotted by the Azerbaijani population of Nagorno-Karabakh, was held, whereby most of the voters voted in favor of independence. The demand to unify with Armenia, which proliferated in the late 1980s, began in a relatively peaceful manner; however, in the following months, as the Soviet Union's disintegration neared, it gradually grew into an increasingly violent conflict between ethnic Armenians and ethnic Azerbaijanis, resulting in claims of ethnic cleansing by both sides.
Inter-ethnic fighting between the two broke out shortly after the parliament of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) in Azerbaijan voted to unify the region with Armenia on February 20, 1988. The circumstances of the dissolution of the Soviet Union facilitated an Armenian separatist movement in Azerbaijan. The declaration of secession from Azerbaijan was the final result of a territorial conflict regarding the land. As Azerbaijan declared its independence from the Soviet Union and removed the powers held by the enclave's government, the Armenian majority voted to secede from Azerbaijan and in the process proclaimed the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.
