Baku – APA. Armenians took Azerbaijani driver to Yerevan and offered
him to cooperate with them.

Driver Alasgar Orujaliyev, who was taken to Armenia, told APA.

According to him, on October 14, he left for Tbilisi to find a job
in cargo trucks: "I left Tbilisi for Georgia-Armenia border to have a
talk with cargo truck drivers. I saw cargo trucks in the neutral area
of Georgia-Armenia border zones. Meanwhile, two persons came up to me
and took interests in the reasons of my arrival in an incomprehensible
Azerbaijani language. I told them that I wanted to talk to drivers and
find a job in cargo trucks. They told me Azerbaijanis might freely pass
both neutral zone and Armenian territory and they offered it to me".

Alasgar Orujaliyev accepted the offer: "I accepted the offer and
crossed the Georgian border crossing point and arrived in the neutral
zone. When I wanted to come up to the drivers standing in the neutral
zone, an unknown man called me from the Armenian border crossing
point and wanted to see my passport. When he realized that I am an
Azerbaijani citizen, he forcibly took me to the territory of Armenia".

According to Alasgar Orujaliyev, the event took place on October 15
and he was kept in the administrative building of the Armenian border
crossing point for two days: "Further, they took me to Yerevan by car.

And they kept me in a cellar of the nine-storey building in Yerevan for
a week. During this period, Armenians offered me to stay in Armenia
many times. They told me if I agree with it, they will provide him
with an apartment. They forced me to write negative opinions about
Azerbaijani government, state and OSCE. They even forced me to write
many things about corruption in Azerbaijan. I was undergone tortures
during this period. They gave me a liquid like coffee to drink. When
I drank it, I lost consciousness and knew nothing about what I was
doing. And Armenians recorded what I was speaking at that time".

Despite all pressures and tortures, Alasgar Orujaliyev noted that he
had noted accepted the proposals of Armenians: "I told them over and
over again that I am a worker and I’ve no notion of the things and
I want to return to Azerbaijan. On October 22, Armenians brought me
to the Georgian border crossing point. I appealed to the Embassy of
Azerbaijani as soon as I arrived in Georgia and spoke everything about
it. I’m seriously shocked and depressed and I don’t know what to do".
