videotape handed to him by those men, and the ticket acknowledging

It was found out that in late June - early July 2005, the citizen
of Georgia Merabi Jibutia arrived in Baku in the capacity of
representative of the country~Rs democratic forces. Here, he met with
chairman of the youth movement ~SYeni Fikir~T Ruslan Jalil Bashirli

population, anf therefore demonstrate incapability of the authority. In
addition, using abusive language towards Azerbaijan authorities,
Georgiy Ispiryan suggested providing such services as collection
of materials discrediting Azerbaijan~Rs officials, and said it was
important to let Ali Kerimli know about it.

proudly that ~Sthe problem will be solved over a glass of cognac and

Osman Alimuradov to one of the Tbilisi saunas, where offered them to
have some fun with local prostitutes. Rejecting the offer, however,

moment, a certain Vardan, mentioned-above, came up to him and having
introduced himself as officer of the Armenia~Rs special services,
advised their last meeting had been shot by hidden video camera.
Vardan said the $2000 had been given them not as a favor. He added

financial assistance to the democratic forces in Azerbaijan, and
warned that in case of avoidance of the cooperation, the video would
be demonstrated on TV-channels. Then, he handed the copy of the tape
to Osman Alimuradov advising him to watch it in Baku.

unmasked himself and those he represented by conspiring with Armenia~Rs
special services and sacrificed national interests to money - is
reflected in the newspapers ~SAzadlyg~T (Freedom) and ~SBizim Yol~T
(Our Path), which are mouthpiece of those like him. The papers read
that Ruslan Bashirli allegedly visited Tbilisi to participate in the
international conference and meet with one of the Georgia~Rs renowned
businessmen Georgiy Burjanadze. In fact, however, the man was nobody
else but Georgiy Ispiryan well known to Bashirli himself.
