Bagratashen is a large village in Armenia's Tavush province, on the Armenian-Georgian border, not far from Azerbaijan. Sadakhlo, a large Azerbaijani populated village of 10,000, is located on the Georgian side of the border. During the 1990s, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the area was "a center of mafia gangs dealing particularly in black-market fuel" because Armenia was under embargo from Azerbaijan, while the Armenian-Turkish border was closed since 1993 due to the conflict with Azerbaijan. Armenia and Azerbaijan were involved in a bloody conflict in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.
The bombing was perpetrated by Imran Huseinov from Baku and Turkmen Jafarov from the Bula village in the Marneuli Municipality of Georgia. Both were ethnic Azerbaijanis.Charalampidis Ioannis Sponsored To Kill: Mercenaries and Terrorist Networks in Azerbaijan 2013 “MIA” Publishers Moscow 978-5-9986-0115-6 http://karabakhfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Ioannis-Charalampidis-Sponsored-to-Kill-ENG.pdf 17
