On Friday, an investigative journalist Khadija Ismayilova the fourth time this week, was questioned as a witness in the Investigation Department for Serious Crimes Prosecutor General's Office.
As reported by Ismayilova, the investigators questioned her again about the meeting with two members of the U.S. Senate Restaurant Art Garden.
Ismayilova was told that she gave information concerning state secrets to American intelligence.
In response Ismaylova asked from what the investigators knew that the Americans were spies.
Ismayilova also pointed out that there was no crime in her meeting with the official staff of the Senate and the guests during the visit also met with the Rector of the Diplomatic Academy, Deputy Foreign Minister Hafiz Pashayev.
Ismayilova also emphasized that she could not pass a state secret, because she does not possess any.
Ismayilova also pointed out the impossibility of recording conversations by the deputy Jeyhun Osmanli, as he says this, because he came into the restaurant at the end of the conversation.
"And what was under our table, I do not know," said sarcastically Ismayilova.
As for the common material in Ismayilova’s Facebook, which dealt with the recruitment of a representative of the opposition by special services, the journalist today admitted that the document was handed over to her by the former investigator Ramin Naghiyev, who is currently in political emigration in France.
Ismayilova reported that Naghiyev admitted this and wrote it on Facebook. -06D-
