We were taken for examination in order to check the presence of alcohol in the blood. I have not been found. And Jeyhun and Elzamin were found traces of alcohol. A protocol was drawn up that we allegedly swore in front of the cafe. Jeyhun and I were fined 50 manat. And Elzamin was taken to court,” Abdullazadeh told Turan.
