Askerov and Guliyev in their complaints noted that disagree with the decision of the court, as they crossed the front line, did not realize what they were doing something illegal, and they do not recognize a charge of murder.
"I have no connection with the Azeri secret services, and I do not know whether the third member of our group Hasan Hasanov worked for the secret services. I did not kill the boy, Hasanov did it," Askerov said. In turn, Guliyev said he did not plead guilty on any article of the charges. Both confirmed that came in Kalbajar to visit their homes and graves of loved ones. The next court hearing will be on March 10.
