29 November 2006 17:03 (UTC +04:00)

26 members of the gang stand trial presided by Judge Ali Seyfaliyev in the second part of the day.
The co-founder of the beauty saloon that Zamire Hajiyeva used to visit Terane Ibrahimovaâ€™s testimony to the investigation was announced. Ibrahimova said she had been in Garabulag with Elchinâ€™s family.
â€œJahangir Hajiyevâ€™s family also was sitting at the same table with us. Elchin asked me about Jahangirâ€™s children. I do not know the reason and the aim of his question. We were in one of the restaurants together with Elchin in 2005. As Zamire was kidnapped from my saloon, Elchin always said that it is dangerous to speak to me,â€? she said.
Then, Shaig Salmanovâ€™s testimony given to the investigation on the episode of Rena Nesibovaâ€™s murder was announced.
â€œOne Rena called me and said that she wants to meet with me. During the meeting she said that a Chechen called Ruslan wants to marry to her. She said that Ruslan is engaged in some criminal cases and kidnappings. Rena said that Ruslan told her Rovshan Aliyev was killed because of finding out some facts. Ruslan noted that the gang is led by the colonel called Haji. Rena was afraid of the danger to her life. That is why I organized Renaâ€™s meeting with Rustem Usubov. Rena gave written testimony all about she knew and then was questioned in NSM. Rena said that the officials did not pay attention at her words because they did not believe her. I heard about Renaâ€™s death from her brother. I doubted that she was killed by Hajiâ€™s gang and told Rustem Usubov about it,â€? he said.
Then Economic Development Minister Heydar Babayevâ€™s brother Yashar Babayevâ€™s testimony was announced.
â€œThe oil reservoir that I work is situated in Nobel Avenue. I did not know that I was being followed. I do not know people called Aslanbek Chintamirov, Farhad Mammadbeyov and Eldar Rehimov,â€? he said.
Then kidnapped Zeynallabdin Babayevâ€™s brother Chingiz Babayev gave testimony to court. He said they gave $ 450 000 for his brotherâ€™s release. A lawyer to Haji Mammadov Samad Aliyev solicited and asked to forgive the defendant and allow him to participate in the next trial. The judge allowed Samad Aliyevâ€™s solicitation.
The trial will be continued on November 30. /APA/
