The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reacted to the statements common in some media about the need to assign the title of “Veteran of War” to the Colonel-Lieutenant of the Medical Service Ahmed Isag Ogly Aliyev.
The ministry said that during the Patriotic War, Ahmed Aliyev served in a military unit located far from the territory of warfare. They explained to him that the assignment to him the title of “veteran of war” would contradict the relevant resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers.
, however, Ahmed Aliyev and some citizens, by their irresponsible statements on the Web, are misleading the public and trying to achieve an illegal solution to the issue by influencing social opinions on specialized bodies. Despite the repeated appeals of the Ministry of Defense, some media officers, without knowing the requirements of the legislation, try to undermine The reputation of our department … Some citizens who are not satisfied with the official response of the Ministry of Defense based on the requirements of the law are trying to justify unreasonable claims, abusing unprofessional media, ”the ministry said.
