Ibrahim Musayev: I was ordered to kill a family member of Turac Zeynalov

A man by name Ibrahim Musayev, made a sensational revelation to Turan  on the phone. He claims that he was instructed to gain the trust of Turac Zeynalov’s family, a Nakhchivan resident, died of torture in  the National Security Ministry (NSM)   in 2011.

Musayev was to involve family members in the illegal operations with drugs and  to compromise them. The purpose of this blackmail was  the will of the NSM to make the family give up their claims to human rights organizations about the murder  of Turac Zeynalov.

For the period of the assignment the NSM issid Musayev a fake ID. After the first job was done, he was assigned to kill a family member  of Zeynalov.

" I could agree with it, and decided to escape from Nakhchivan with my wife, because  I knew that I was given  false documents by the NSM. This meant that I myself could be  liquidate, and the case would be presented as a conflict of  drug gangsters," Musayev said.

He stressed that he  hides in one of the cities of Russia,  and  is afraid to be arrested and  extradited  to the authorities of Azerbaijan. "So I turned to the international human rights organizations and ask them to ensure my safety," said Musayev.

An indirect confirmation of Musayev’s words is  a letter  sent to Turan agency  in late September,  by the widow  of Turac Zeynalov, in  which she demanded to remove all information from the Internet and link to  her, because  she has " no complaints, and does not want to be engaged in politics."

In turn, on Monday  the Ministry of National Security of Nakhchivan  issued  statement, which denies involvement of  Musayev to this department in any way.

Calling Musayev a liar and provocateur, the NSM said that Musa invented this story to escape abroad from citizens of Nakhchivan, whom he cheated, not returning their debt. 

People like Musayev are  used by internal and external forces to cause discontent among the population  and public authorities,  and to destabilize the situation. "But they will not succeed," promise valiant security agencies.

The Ministry declared that death was due to cancer, but relatives of the deceased submitted the  press a video footage from the funeral of  Zeynalov, where  there were clearly visible traces of beatings and torture with electrodes on his body. -02/03В-
