Accident Kills Three Employees of Azerbaijani Baku Electricity Network

Azerbaijan, Baku / Тrend corr K. Zarbaliyeva / An accident occurred in the Narimanov District of Baku.

What a shame that instead of through the cemetery they could not get around the cemetery. I do not think it was because of lack of lands around the cemetery.

During removal of a stone fence surrounding an old Armenian cemetery located behind the Odlar Yurdu University, three employees of the Bakielektrikshabaka OJSC ( Baku electricity network) were trapped in the ruins.

One victim aged 25 and 30 years old, was taken to the hospital and died, the other two are still in the hospital, according to a Trend correspondent reporting from the scene of the accident.

A road is being constructed through the Armenian cemetery. The area was fenced due to construction work.

The Narimanov District Prosecutor’s Office confirmed the reports and said an investigation has been launched into the case.
