Residents of Azerbaijani villages: Karen Petrosyan had no weapons on
him, he just came in and asked for tea
13:49 10/08/2014 >> REGION
Armenian 31-year-old Chinari village resident of Tavush region Karen
Petrosyan who was killed on 8 August in Azerbaijan appeared in the
Azerbaijani Agbulag village, at the door of the house of the local
resident Royale Ismahan oglu Guliyev at 1 pm, on August 7 and asked
for tea. Later on, he was disguised into military uniforms and
declared as diversionist.
The video reportage of "Azer life" portal Guliyev says that his
mother was the first who saw the Armenian who had lost his way. The
lost asked for tea, and cigarettes from Guliyev. Guliyev's mother
tells how she found Karen Petrosyan in their yard: "I came up to the
door, I saw as I watched, a man sitting. Then I asked "Who are you?"
And he says "tea, tea ..." Then I told my son that an Armenian is
sitting in front of our door. Then the neighbors came and began to
question him. We then gave him tea, and then the militants came." It
is noteworthy that in the video-footage it is visible how the locals
get into brawl with the militants, who had come to get the Armenian
hostage.
According to the video footage of the Azerbaijani service of "Radio
Liberty" by Fariz Tagiyeva, the woman who discovered the lost Armenian
tells how the locals were questioning him, and why he was afraid, and
he replied that he had nothing with him, no weapons, and his name was
Karen.
Tagiyeva took the Armenian citizen to the local tea-house in Agbulag
village where young people surrounded Karen and began questioning. "I
greeted him, turned him all over, searched him, and checked his
sneakers, he had no arms with him," the local resident Niyamat
Mammadov says and stresses that Karen was not armed and made no
resistance.
The young man added that Karen had an ordinary phone in his hands. The
questioning ended when the militants entered the village.
The locals also do not believe in the official version issued by the
Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan which says that Karen Petrosyan was a
diversionist. As Fariz Tagiyeva tells the posts of the Armenian armed
forces are located far away from the village, which does not even have
the status of "frontier village". "The Armenians have no posts here
how could he come here from the Army positions?" wonders the local
resident.
On August 8, the Azerbaijani media, reported, referring to the
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, about the death of 31-year-old resident
of Chinari village of Tavush region Karen Petrosyan who was found in
Azerbaijan. He allegedly died in Baku from "heart failure." It was
noted that "the causes of death are being investigated in Ganja
regional center of forensic and pathological anatomy."
Earlier, the Armenian media reported that Karen Petrosyan was a
resident of Chinari village of Tavush region of Armenia. He had left
on 7 August for the nearby forest to gather firewood. Apparently,
Karen Petrosyan had got lost and had found himself in the territory of
Azerbaijan. This is confirmed by the primary statements of the
Azerbaijani media.
It should be noted that Karen Petrosyan, resident of Chinari village
of Tavush region of Armenia, was presented in Azerbaijan as a
diversionist and spy. They had even circulated in the media materials
on questioning of the citizen of the Republic of Armenia. The footage
also clearly demonstrates that he was subjected to severe tortures. He
gives only positive answers to the orders of the Azerbaijani
militants. Video footage also makes it obvious that Karen Petrosyan is
accused of allegedly being a serviceman. They present photographs
allegedly taken from his cell phone. Meanwhile, the provided high
quality images taken from the old modeled mobile phone and the absence
of the faces in the photos suggest that these pictures are not taken
from this mobile phone, and are most likely loaded there later, after
the capture of Karen Petrosyan. There is every reason to believe that
Karen Petrosyan died that night as a result of tortures by the
Azerbaijani militants. It is also noteworthy that, according to
information he died in Baku, while the autopsy is carried out in Ganja
(the distance between these two cities is 372 km).
