Czech journalist whose interview with Ayaz Mutallibov, published in Nezavisimaya Gazeta on 2 April 1992, became the most consequential single primary-source moment of the Khojaly story. In the interview Mutallibov stated that the humanitarian corridor had existed and that the bodies near it "were shot with deliberate cruelty"; he also implied that the Azerbaijani Popular Front had let the killings happen to bring his government down.
