It was december of last year. My father was helping to government. He went to police station and went back in that day. House was crowded, women were sitting at the other room, my father was telling what did speak at the police station, too. Door was opened, Mustafa Cimen entered the house. There was a kalashnikov in his hand. He said: “Weather is cold. Light the stove for us!” There was a somebody at the threshold of door. The third one of them was waiting outside. Mustafa Cimen shook hands one by one, he shook hand like that, in my father’s turn he said: “Are you Rasid Agha?”  my father reached his hand for shake hands and when he said “Yes, I am.”, he pointed the kalashnikov at my father and blazed away my father. My uncle immediately said: “Catch him! Catch up that dog!” My brother catched him from back, we jumped on him. He couldn’t run away, we pulled the knife, we stabbed him several times. He called others that standing in front of the door: “They stabbed me. Blaze everyone away, including me!” The man in the outside blazed us terribly, light went out, we said to everyone: “Get on the ground!” Babies and women were screaming, when they [terrorists] blazed away, they [babies and women] went silent. The man on the door said the man outside: “Okay. Let’s run away.” They ran away.
