The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 28, 1988 - Page 5 Unrest 4 MOSCOW (AP) - Two Com- munist Party officials in the southern republic of Azerbaijan have been fired, and Soviet newspapers charged yesterday that local authorities and police are not cooperating with sol- diers trying to quell ethnic violence. The military newspaper Red Star said local officials are not helping troops trying to keep the clashing Azerbaijanis and Armenians apart in the city of Kirovabad. Rallies of up to 500,000 people were reported yester- day in Baku, the republic's capital. At least seven people have died and 160 injured in Kirovabad in the' largest outbreak of violence since spring between the mainly Christian Armenians and Moslem Azerbaijanis. continues in Azerbaijani The report said three soldiers died after a bus driver refused to transport wounded troops to a hospital and local medical personnel apparently refused to treat them. "In the end, military doctors had to save the wounded," the newspaper said. The duty officer at the Azerbaijani Communist Party headquarters in the city of Baku denied the charges say- ing, "The party is in control." The official refused to give his name. The republic's ruling party Central Committee on Saturday fired Ramiz Bagirly, the first secretary of the Communist Party in Kirovabad, and replaced him with Suleiman Maine- dov, former chief of the Kirovabad city executive committee, said an Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry spokesperson. Musa Mamedov said the first secretary in the autonomous republic of Nakhichevan, Nuradin Mastafaev, also was fired last week after violence broke out. Mastafaev was replaced by Geidar Isaev, who had been head of the Nakhichevan Council of Minis- ters, Mamodov said. Ethnic fighting between Azerbaijanis and Armenians first be- gan in February and culminated in last week's massive demonstrations. The Armenians, who dominate the Nargorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, are demanding that the area be annexed to neighboring Armenia. Yesterday, thousands of Armenians huddled behind a cordon of troops in Kirovabad, fearing more beatings, shootings, and firebomb attacks in the city of of 210,000. Red Star said soldiers guarding barricades on the Gyandzhachai River between the Armenian and Azerbaijani sections of the city "pushed back the uncontrolled mob" last week. A military vehicle was blown up, and the driver was stoned while he tried to extinguish the flames, the newspaper said. One soldier was killed pushing two of his companions out of the path of a truck that apparently was about to run them over, it said. Shots fired at Yemeni dissident leader DEARBORN (AP) - Police had not determined a motive for shots fired at a leading opponent of the government of North Yemen, but the intended victim's nephew called it an assassination attempt. About 10 shots were fired Saturday night from a passing car at at group that included North Yemeni op- position leader Ibrahim Alwazir as they entered a restaurant, said Hani Issac, a spokesperson for Alwazir. Alwazir was unhurt but Naji Isa was wounded in the left leg, said Dearborn Police Lt. Ray Wysocki. Isa, an associate of Alwazir, was taken to Oakwood Hospital, where he was in serious but stable condition yesterday afternoon. Alwazir, an opponent of the mili- tary government of North Yemen was on a three-day visit to the Detroit area from his home in Washington, D.C., Issac said. Dearborn is home to many of the area's large Arab community. Alwazir and several other people had gathered for an informal meeting at the Peacock restaurant, Issac said. Wysocki said authorities were looking for two males at the scene of the shooting at 7:20 p.m., adding that no motive had been established. A man who was near the restaurant before the shooting said a man drove up to him in a late-model Cadillad and looked him over closely.
