Isa Habibbayli: Ramiz Mehtiyev committed criminal actions that cast a shadow on the country's reputation

Ramiz Mehtiyev committed criminal actions that cast a shadow on the country's reputation and violate the requirements imposed by the charter on an academy member.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Report, this was stated by the president of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) Isa Habibbayli at a meeting of the ANAS presidium, where the issue of expelling Ramiz Mehtiyev from the academy was considered.

I. Habibbayli noted that by the decision of the Baku Court on Grave Crimes, Ramiz Mehtiyev was sentenced to 14 years of imprisonment.

"The criminal actions of Ramiz Mehtiyev, who made plans to change the constitutional order of our independent state, constitute a betrayal of our statehood. These are unacceptable acts, unworthy of an academy member and undermining the respect and authority of a scientist. Ramiz Mehtiyev, who committed state treason and was sentenced by the court to a severe punishment, cannot remain a member of ANAS," he stated.

At the meeting of the ANAS presidium, the issue of expelling Ramiz Mehtiyev from the academy was put to a vote and approved.

It is noted that in accordance with the requirements of the regulation on the election of members of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, their rights and obligations, this decision of the ANAS presidium must be ratified by the General Assembly of the academy.
