The author says that Armenian named Muradyan sent threat letter to Heydar Aliyev in 1987. The letter says that Anvar pasha was murdered by Armenian named Saruhanyan who was from Nagorno Karabakh on August 5, 1922. Saruhanyan was the member of the commander group of Akop Melkumyan. Melkumyan described this event in journal â€œHorizonâ€.
â€œThe enemy could not see us in the fog. I was glad when I realized that Anvar Pasha was there together with his guards. The guns started to fire after my order. Anvar pasha was sleeping when our swords were sparkling in front of the windows. Then he mounted a horse and escaped. We killed Anvar pasha in Ganli sungu (bayonet fight),â€ he said.
Anvar pasha died in the battle with Soviet troops at the bottom of the mountain Pamir in his 42 year. He was buried in nearby village. His tomb was taken to Turkey in 1996. /APA/
