Nijat Amiraslanov, the author of the video footage that is placed on the site of “Azeri life”, touched upon the events concerning the citizen of Armenia Karen Petrosyan, and on his page on the social network of Facebook shared the footage of the incident and encouraged to disseminate it in order to expose the disinformation spread by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry.

As the author of the video noted, between the residents of Azerbaijani village Agbulag, who found the lost Armenian, and the militants that arrived in the village, a skirmish took place, as the journalists had noticed that Karen Petrosyan was detained by the local residents, while the militants banned to take the events on the camera.

Author of the article tells that the local 17-year-old boys had detained the Armenian guy. Karen Petrosyan did not offer resistance and asked only for tea. He was taken to a rural tea house. One of the interlocutors notes at the same time that the lost Armenian was in white sneakers from the very beginning, and wonders "how these shoes turned into military boots?".

On August 8, the Azerbaijani media, reported, referring to the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, about the death of 31-year-old resident of Chinari village of Tavush region Karen Petrosyan who was found in Azerbaijan. He allegedly died in Baku from "heart failure." It was noted that "the causes of death are being investigated in Ganja regional center of forensic and pathological anatomy."

Earlier, the Armenian media reported that Karen Petrosyan was a resident of Chinari village of Tavush region of Armenia. He had left on 7 August for the nearby forest to gather firewood. Apparently, Karen Petrosyan had got lost and had found himself in the territory of Azerbaijan. This is confirmed by the primary statements of the Azerbaijani media.

It should be noted that Karen Petrosyan, resident of Chinari village of Tavush region of Armenia, was presented in Azerbaijan as a diversionist and spy. They had even circulated in the media materials on questioning of the citizen of the Republic of Armenia. The footage also clearly demonstrates that he was subjected to severe tortures. He gives only positive answers to the orders of the Azerbaijani militants. Video footage also makes it obvious that Karen Petrosyan is accused of allegedly being a serviceman. They present photographs allegedly taken from his cell phone. Meanwhile, the provided high quality images taken from the old modeled mobile phone and the absence of the faces in the photos suggest that these pictures are not taken from this mobile phone, and are most likely loaded there later, after the capture of Karen Petrosyan. There is every reason to believe that Karen Petrosyan died that night as a result of tortures by the Azerbaijani militants. It is also noteworthy that, according to information he died in Baku, while the autopsy is carried out in Ganja (the distance between these two cities is 372 km).
