BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 6. The surveillance
cameras on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran recorded the main points of
the terrorist assault dedicated on January 27, Trend studies by way of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Azerbaijan.
As is understood, on account of a terrorist assault in opposition to the
Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran on January 27, 2023, Head of Security
Service, Orkhan Asgarov, was killed, and two different workers, Vasif
Tagiyev and Mahir Imanov, obtained extreme gunshot wounds.
“Firstly, earlier than the assault, the terrorist drove previous the
embassy twice in his automobile on January 27, 2023 – at 08:05 and 08:24,
as a way to select the proper second to commit the crime.
At 08:32, instantly after the embassy workers entered the principle
entrance of the executive constructing of the diplomatic mission,
the terrorist, who was within the automobile, intentionally crashed at excessive
velocity into the official automobile of the diplomatic mission parked in
entrance of the embassy. Taking benefit of the truth that an embassy
worker, having heard a noise, opened the doorways of the diplomatic
mission, the terrorist took out a machine gun from his automobile,
gestured one thing to the Iranian policeman who was on responsibility on the
entrance door, opened hearth and instantly entered the embassy
constructing.
At 08:34, two minutes after the terrorist broke into the
embassy, a automobile belonging to the Iranian police drove as much as the
constructing, however after just a few seconds of speaking with the policeman at
the doorway, it left the territory.
For 4 minutes, that’s, till 08:36, the terrorist fired
quite a few photographs on the workers contained in the embassy administration
constructing, on account of which the embassy worker Orkhan Asgarov
died on the spot from a bullet wound, and one other worker, Mahir
Imanov, was significantly injured in his proper hand and left leg.
Another member of the mission, Vasif Tagiyev, attacked the
terrorist to disarm him and engaged in hand-to-hand fight with
him. While an embassy officer was neutralizing the terrorist, the
attacker fired from a machine gun and wounded him within the shoulder.
However, Vasif Tagiyev continued to battle the terrorist and managed
to grab the journal from the machine gun. At this time, the
terrorist pulled out a pistol from his jacket and opened hearth, this
time wounding Tagiyev within the chin (later, when inspecting the
territory of the embassy, a Colt pistol was discovered, which the
attacker dropped). Despite the harm, Tagiev managed to attract the
legal out the embassy constructing.
Despite the truth that the terrorist entered the embassy by
pressure, fired repeatedly contained in the constructing, and an worker of
the embassy known as for assist to neutralize the terrorist, the
Iranian policeman, who was on responsibility on the entrance door, not solely did
not intervene, however left his put up and left territory.
The terrorist, who was taken out of the embassy constructing, took
out a spare journal from his jacket pocket and inserted it into
the machine gun. After gesturing twice to somebody, he started to fireplace
repeatedly on the entrance door of the embassy and the home windows of
residences within the mission constructing, the place relations of
diplomats dwell. During this time, the terrorist set hearth to the
tires of the automobile belonging to the embassy twice with a flamable
substance that he had introduced with him.
Seeing that the sturdy entrance door was troublesome to open with
automated weapons, the terrorist tried to interrupt the door with a
sledgehammer, which he took out of the trunk of a automobile, and entered
the embassy a second time to kill diplomats and their households.
Tagiev threw a fireplace extinguisher on the attacker, who tried to
climb to the second ground of the embassy, and wounded him within the
head (these moments weren’t recorded by surveillance cameras), as
a results of which the terrorist was compelled to depart the
constructing.
Once on the road, the attacker as soon as once more pointed to folks
standing within the distance and lowered his machine gun. Taking
benefit of the truth that the police didn’t intervene, the
terrorist once more tried to set hearth to the automobile of the consultant
workplace with a flamable combination equivalent to a Molotov cocktail, which
he had introduced with him. And solely when the attacker set himself on
hearth by negligence, the police reacted to the occasions.
At the identical time, the police have been in no hurry to detain the
terrorist, they spoke to him, handled him not like a legal and
took a wait-and-see angle. Taking benefit of the scenario,
the terrorist wandered round for a while, insulting the
diplomats of the embassy, threatening them and shouting: “I’ll
kill you all!” The police didn’t react in any strategy to such
habits, after which the terrorist freely walked to the constructing,
took a sledgehammer, with which he broke out the door, and put it
in his automobile.
Then he started to insist that Tagiev, who was watching from the
window of the embassy and demanding his arrest, go downstairs, and
when Tagiev went down, he started to threaten him once more and tried to
assault him.
Only then did the police handcuff the terrorist, put him in a
automobile and depart the world. Attention was additionally drawn to the truth that
at the moment an unknown particular person in a masks took unknown objects from
the terrorist’s automobile and left the scene.
It also needs to be famous that in latest days, in some social
networks and media sources, false info and hypothesis
relating to the chronology of the terrorist assault have been
circulated. The most important cause for that is incorrect timing references
within the movies. In this regard, we inform you that the embassy
surveillance cameras exhibiting the road point out the time, which is
24 minutes forward of the true time. This variation in time is because of
technical components.
And the truth that the terrorist selected Friday for the assault – (a
time without work in Iran), is quite to attenuate the circumstances that
may intervene with him – he arrived on the scene with an entire
arsenal – an AK assault rifle with spare clips, a Colt pistol,
incendiary with a combination, a sledgehammer and different technique of
assault, with the entire non-interference of the Iranian police.
All these components give critical causes to imagine that the assault
was deliberate upfront,” the ministry mentioned.
