Statement

It is my honor to hereby advise the Commission that upon arri-

ving at Khudat station, the Armenian punitive squad led by Amazasp

burned to ashes the real estate owned by me and located at the sta-

tion named above, i.e. the granary built of mud brick and covered by

metal roof, with twenty-five train cars of wheat, agricultural tools and

textiles inside. Besides this, my house of 4 rooms built of mud brick

and roofed with metal was set ablaze with all household stuff and

valuable carpets. My meat storage facility loaded with consignment

was destroyed and the guard

Niftaly Gashum oghlu, a Persian na-

tional, killed.

The overall damage I suffered as a result of these actions is es-

timated at 200,000.00 (two hundred thousand) rubles. The evidence

may be presented upon request.
