Singer Ragsana banned from leaving Azerbaijan

â€œShe threatened me that if I leave her I will not find job. Ragsana needed money when Ellada Ismayilova was arrested in Turkey. I helped her. I borrowed the interest-bearing money and gave it to her. She owes my $24,000. Ragsana should know that I will find job. I graduated from Economic University. I can work in a bank. But she is a singer, and she will not have a success anymore. Ragsana says she dismissed me. But in fact I left her, otherwise I will not have a family any more,â€ she said.
Tarana Samadova confirmed that Ragsanaâ€™s mother Adila Hasanova and sister Ellada Ismayilova are accused of human trafficking. The producer said all this is true.
â€œI lied when I said that Ragsana ran over a 13-year old child. Ragsana was called to the Department to Combat Human Trafficking in connection with her sister and mother. We returned from a wedding party in Shamkir. I said Ragsana ran over a child so that this case is not written the media. I even named a region, to persuade the media. Ragsana had to go to a wedding party in Baku that day, I told them that she ran over a child and thatâ€™s why can not come to the wedding. But this was false, Ragsana was called to the police in connection with her mother and sisterâ€™s involvement in human trafficking. Ragsana was released at night that day. Her sister was detained, but her mother was released on bail. Ragsana and her mother was banned to leave the country,â€ she said.
Samadova said that the citizens of various countries stayed in Ragsanaâ€™s house while she was working as her producer.
â€œThey were staying for one-two months. Then they solved their visa problem and left the house. It is difficult for me to speak about their nationality. I saw them in Ragsanaâ€™s house for several times. But they used to leave her house one-two months later. They also solved their visa problem. But Ragsana says that I revealed this secret. If she says that I did it then why I lied to media and denied all truth? I always denied it,â€ he said.
Samadova said that Ragsanaâ€™s sister Ellada was in Turkey for three years and was detained there.
â€œShe solved it with money that time. Ellada was detained in Bodrum two months before. We went there and released Ellada. Police accompanied Ellada so that she could not escape. Ellada was banned to leave for Turkey for 5 years,â€ she said.
Clear World Public Union told the APA they have not yet received new appeal except one of victims of Ismayilovas. ANS television yesterday could contact Ragsanaâ€™s sister Ellada who is in detention. Though she said that she is Ragsanaâ€™s sister and recognized the plaintiff, she denied the accusation on involving her to prostitution. /APA/
