I told Ismayilov that my nephew is drug abuser and called him to Haji Mammadov's house in Saray village. Farhad Mammadov brought him to the house. I do not know anything more. I heard about Ismayilov's murder from Haji Mammadov. He said I should keep silence and he killed Azer Mammadov for his rudeness," Guliyev said, APA reports.
