Regarding academician Ramiz Mehdiyev, former head of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan and former president of ANAS, a pre-trial detention measure of 4 months of house arrest has been chosen by the Sabail District Court.

R. Mehdiyev is being charged under Articles 274 (Treason), 278 (Forcible seizure of power or forcible retention of power), and 193-1 (Legalization of criminally obtained funds) of the Criminal Code.

It should be noted that Ramiz Mehdiyev is also a member of the Security Council under the President.

Whether he will be dismissed from his position there is a noteworthy nuance.

In his statement to Modern.az, security expert Ilham Ismayil stated that regardless of what position one holds, if a person is specifically accused of a crime, especially treason, they should not remain in any state position:

"Money laundering is such an issue that one can await the course of the investigation regarding it. At this moment, due to the presumption of innocence, no one can be called a criminal. Among the charges brought are issues of treason and forcible seizure of power. Considering all this, regardless of where one holds a position, they must be immediately dismissed from that state position. It seems to me that a person holding such responsible positions in the Security Council or elsewhere cannot remain there."

I. Ismayil stated that the Security Council should urgently convene these days and remove Ramiz Mehdiyev from the institution:

"His membership in the Security Council should not be suspended or frozen, but directly terminated. There is no need to wait for a court decision here. Because the charges have been brought under such articles that even if he held a position in the academy, he should have been immediately dismissed from there. It seems to me that the State Security Service detained this person due to reasonable suspicions."
