Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaitandzhieva has demanded from President Radev to raise the issue of delivering weapons to ISIS militants from Azerbaijan
ArmInfo.The Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaitandzhieva, whose efforts uncovered the
Azerbaijani fraud with arms supplies to ISIS militants, reacted with sharp comments to the visit of Bulgarian President Rumen Radev to Azerbaijan.
On her Facebook page, the journalist asked, in particular, whether
the heads of Bulgaria and Azerbaijan will discuss the sale of weapons
to Islamist terrorists. "Mr. Radev, did you ask the President of
Azerbaijan how the Bulgarian-made weapons were in the hands of the
ISIS terrorists and An-Nusra in Syria through diplomatic flights
authorized by the Bulgarian authorities on the planes of the
state-owned company of Azerbaijan SilkWay Airlines?" Gaitandzhieva
wrote in the social network.
It is noteworthy that the journalist was fired from work immediately
after the publication in the authoritative Bulgarian edition of
"Trud" of investigations into Azerbaijan's deliveries of weapons to
ISIS militants, however, this did not break Gaytandzieva.
In June 2017, in the authoritative Bulgarian edition of Trudl, an
investigation was published about how Azerbaijan, for three years
under the cover of diplomatic flights, which do not pass standard air
control, on the sides of the Azerbaijani state-owned airline SilkWay
Airlines various hot spots (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Congo) to
militants of Islamist organizations.
After the publication of this article Gaitandzhieva several times
asked for a personal meeting with the President of Bulgaria to
provide him with documents relating to the national security of the
country. However, the journalist was never given the opportunity,
moreover, she was fired from her job.
President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev is on a visit to Azerbaijan these
days.
Meanwhile, the Armenian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe also raised this issue in the structure, urging
PACE to thoroughly investigate this information.
