The Azerbaijani education minister said that the country's each education institution must protect its security and security of its students and there are enough opportunities for it.

"Heads of some education institutions say that the state does not allot enough funds to provide their security. I think heads of education institutions can fully ensure their security, if they want. There are enough opportunities for it," Education Minister Misir Mardanov told journalists on May 4.

An armed man attacked Building 2 of the Azerbaijan State Oil Academy at early morning today. According to preliminary reports, the armed man killed 12 and wounded 13. The joint statement by the Interior Ministry and Prosecutor General's Office said the attack was committed by 29-year-old Georgian citizen Gadirov Farda Asad oglu by Makarov revolver.

Three cartridge-belts with capacity of 40 bullets and 71 bullets and two magazines were seized from the body of the killer.

A suit has been filed on murder for hooliganism purposes (120.2.2), brutal murder (120.2.4), murdering more than one people (120.2.7), and an attempt of murder (29, 120.2.7) and illegal storing of arms (228.1).

Twenty-six-year-old Nadir Aliyev who was arrested as a suspected person on May 1 is Farda Gadirov's countryman. He has had close contacts with Gadirov.

The education minister said investigations have been launched to apply a card system to entrances of universities.

"It is a difficult matter for universities which have 15,000-20,000 students to shift to a card system. This may create definite problems," Mardanov said.
