Injighulyan stressed that violence was carried out toward him in Azerbaijan. He was beaten and cursed. “They said if I didn’t do what they say I would appear in the same situation as that shepherd. I was threatened with shooting. I also gave interviews under the pressure of Azerbaijanis. Before the interviews I was called and told what to say and if not they would kill me. Also before the meeting with Red Cross I was called and given instructions, they read the letters of my family,”- he said. The Armenian captive was forced to leave for the third country or else he would be killed. “They forced me to leave for the third country. They said if I tried to run away or wished to return to Armenia, they would shoot me. So I went to the third country and returned to Armenia,”- he said. Video by Aysor.am MHM90585 MHM90588
