The main department of National Security of Armenia has closely participated in the formation, financing and armament of this organization. In April-May 1992, 17 Azerbaijani citizens, Lezghi by nationality, underwent special training in subversion at the training base located in the settlement of Lusakert in the district of Nairi of Armenia.

The terrorist action was committed by Aslanov Azer Salman oglu, citizen of Azerbaijan. He was taken captive by the Armenians in the battles in Nagorno-Karabakh in 1994 and then recruited by special agencies of Armenia. It was proved in court that on January 14, 1994, one of the ideologists of the Armenian separatist’s writer Zori Balayan met Azer Aslanov, a military captive, Lezghi by nationality, and tried to persuade him that it is necessary to unite all the minorities and fight against Azerbaijan and make use of terrorist actions. On June 9, 1994, a man by name of Arthur from the special service agency of Armenia rang the flat of A.Aslanov in Baku, saying that he was alive and asked one of his close relatives to come to Yerevan for negotiations for his release. On June 16, 1994, Tajibat Aslanova, mother of Azer Aslanov, went to Yerevan. Azer Aslanov was told that the life of his mother was in danger and under the threat he was compelled to be recruited as a permanent agent under the pseudonym of “Omar-75”. To organize his arrival in Azerbaijan without any obstacle he was provided with false documents, explosives were hidden in boxes of chocolate, biscuits and perfumery.

A.Aslanov arrived in Baku by the route “Yerevan-Mineralnievodi-Baku”, and on July 3, 1994, he committed the terrorist action in the underground train between the stations “May 28” and “Genjlik” in Baku and again returned to Yerevan. Only then his mother, who had remained as a hostage in Yerevan, was released.

The investigation revealed that the organizers of the terrorist action were Karen Bagdasaryan (colonel) and Seyran Sarkisyan (captain) from the special service agency of Armenia.

It was completely proved during the investigation led by Supreme Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan that all terrorist actions mentioned above were organized, sponsored and logistically supported by functionaries of the illegal regime of Nagorno-Karabakh, Special Services and other governmental institutes of Armenia.
