Accra:Zhoghovurd Azerbaijani Army serviceman Nasimi Musayev, who crossed the border into Armenia, stated during questioning that he did not intend to harm anyone. This information comes from an interrogation report accessed by Armenia’s Zhoghovurd newspaper, as reported by APA.
According to Azeri-Press news agency, Musayev explained during questioning that when he entered a house, he repeatedly asked the female homeowner to allow him to leave. He claimed that the woman grabbed his weapon, prompting him to fire.
In his written testimony, Musayev also recounted that after the shooting incident, the woman and her family attacked him, injuring him with a knife and physically assaulting him.
Additionally, it was reported by the Press Service of the Prosecutor General’s Office that Nasimi Rasim Musayev had been serving in a military unit in Azerbaijan’s Lachin district when he went missing. On September 26, 2026, a search was initiated after it was confirmed that he was absent from his post. The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Emergency Situations conducted search operations. A subsequent investigation by the Military Prosecutor’s Office found reasonable suspicion that Musayev had left his military post without authorization. An Armenian court has since ordered his arrest.
