One explosion, one hundred versions – 24 hours

The April 3 explosion at a nightclub at 9 Tarlan Aliyarbayov Center in central Baku remains one of the main topics of public discussion. Turkey, Israel, Great Britain and 10More than 30 countries, including the US Embassy in Azerbaijan, offer condolences to Azerbaijan over the incident

The press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office said today that, 225.2 of the Criminal Code in connection with the incident (violation of fire safety rules – negligent death of the victim) and or causes other serious consequences) and A criminal case has been launched under Article 314.2 (negligence).

Disclosure according topresumably, in the building of the event gas installed there due to lack of supply gas was found to have occurred as a result of a leak from the balloon. An investigation is currently underway.

Be able to note that, Ministry of Emergency Situations and “Azerigas” Production Association is also involved in the incident gas reported that it was caused by a leak.

A joint statement issued by health officials said the blast that, A total of 31 people were injured and one died in the incident. “Out of 7 injured people, 3 out of 7 are in critical condition. 10His condition is assessed as moderate, and 6 as stable. Other injured people were released after receiving outpatient care”.

There are several areas of public debate about the explosion. Firstly social On the first day of Ramadan, some people wrote on the networks that it is not allowed to have fun in a nightclub during Sahur. according to His expression of joy caused sharp criticism.

Secondly, it is noted that the irresponsibility of the relevant government agencies and corruption have led to such tragedies.

Third, the official version that the explosion was caused by a gas leak is questionable. Some public opinion leaders are looking for an external trace in the incident, the main doubts Russia tries to target the special services. This explains why foreign countries have sent telegrams of condolences to Azerbaijan over the small-scale incident. I wonder what the experts think about it?

Lawyer Fuad Agayev believes that, DTC investigators should also be involved in the investigation team investigating the incident, and if necessary, Turkish law enforcement specialists should be contacted:

“The real causes of the explosion must be investigated, various expert examinations must be appointed and carried out at a professional level. If the explosion was indeed caused by a gas cylinder leak, it should be investigated who brought the cylinders, where they came from, and whether they were exposed to outside interference. The images of the club’s surveillance cameras, the views of other surrounding objects, the video recorder will be very important.

Political scientist, former special services officer Arastun Orujlu drew attention to the ongoing discussions in society: “Both Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine and its reaction to the incident at a nightclub in Baku have exposed the extreme polarization in society. Someone might say that, polarization is common and there is nothing scary here. Of course there is, but if it is not antagonistic polarization. Especially when it comes to violence. This is our polarization. I did not call the incident an “accident” because it happened and or the commission is not yet clear to me. Rejoicing in what happened in the nightclub, blaming him according to to present as a punishment, to justify the death of a person is a manifestation of extremism. Moreover, at a time when the cause of the incident is still unknown. I repeat, the reason is still unclear to me. But according to official information, he is a dead man and he is also an ordinary hard worker working in a nightclub. I ask those who rejoice here: Did you rejoice in the death of a man who worked at night for a piece of bread? This is your concept of value, do you promote your “values”? If so, congratulations from the bottom of my heart, you have won endless hatred “.

The expert emphasizes that, It is worse to justify the ugly attitudes towards such events by religion and belief: “Both the crimes of Russia and the incident in Baku are unfair and unfair and Finally, I am interested in why the leaders of religious communities in the country are so silent, as extremist attitudes are often expressed in the name of religion. ”.

President of the Azerbaijan Internet Forum Osman Gunduz stressed the responsibility of government agencies in connection with the incident. “Who was responsible for the use and safety of gas in the nightclub”he asks. O.Gündüz 2018After the energy crisis of July 3, President recalls the meeting held next to: Speaking at the meeting, Minister of Emergency Situations Kamaladdin Heydarov said: FHNby Azerenergy within the scope of its authority execution stated that it was not done. Also in connection with the fire that broke out on March 28, 2019 in the shopping center “Diglas” President a meeting was held next to him. At the meeting FHN The head of the Nizami District Executive Power, Kamaladdin Heydarov, delivered a speech on the instructions given by the ministry headed by him and By the owner of the shopping center execution stated that it was not done “.

According to O. Gunduz according tothe relevant authorities to prevent a recurrence of the incident that took place in the city center, which caused the death of a person report It would be more correct to raise the issue of punishing the perpetrators. “I think so that, currently associated with the explosion social Discussions in the media in a completely different direction do not serve the interests of society “– he noted.
