Four Azerbaijani students were reportedly attacked in Kiev on July 24 at 9:30 p.m. (10:30 p.m. Baku time). It was officially revealed that the attack was carried out by a representative of the Armenian Diaspora in Ukraine.
According to reliable sources, he is Edgar Zavenovich Opinisyan, born on November 21, 1980.
A man armed with a pistol fired at our students in a cold-blooded manner, and then drove away in a Mercedes Gelandewagen with registration number 50-RV-100.
Two Azerbaijanis were injured in the attack. They were taken to Kiev City Clinical Hospital No. 8. Azerbaijani citizen Nijat Karimov received a gunshot wound to the leg. The second victim, Azer Abbasov, was treated at the scene. Later, 9 mm cartridges were found in the area.
The Azerbaijani embassy in Ukraine is monitoring the situation.
Commenting on the high-profile incident in an interview with Media.Az today, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Ukraine Elmira Akhundova said that a criminal case has been opened, but it is difficult to conduct an investigation without a written appeal.
In addition, today Media.Az managed to find exclusive video footage from the scene, which had not been published anywhere before. It is clear from the footage that an adult man, who admitted that he was of Armenian origin, shot them coldly during a conversation with our students
