On 10 October Armenia’s national security service stated that it had prevented another diversion from the Azerbaijani special services. According to the same source, on September 2, a citizen of Uzbekistan, a Tajik by nationality, Zamirzhon Otadzhonov, born in 1979, appealed to the Armenian special services. He expressed his willingness to carry out a terrorist attack in Baku for $20,000. He explained his desire by the fact that while working on a construction site in Baku in 2012, he had been deceived by the employer, who refused to pay him, and it caused his hatred for Azerbaijanis.
"However, the National Security Council of Armenia as a result of operative-investigative measures, found that Otadzhonov was an agent of Azerbaijani secret services, and its actions are extremely subversive; his goal was to provoke Armenia to the act of terrorism, and to represent Armenia in international organizations as a terrorist country," stated the National Security Council of Armenia.
Today became known that Otadzhonov appealed to the law enforcement agencies of Azerbaijan. He refuted the information spread by the Armenian side, and asked for a chance to speak to the press. In this regard, a press conference of Otadzhonov will be held on November 7 at 12:00 am in Baku. -02D-
