Armenian soldiers detained Azeri citizen who passed on Karabakh side

An Azeri citizen was detained on the contact line between the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan. Viktor Kocharian, Chairman of the NKR State Commission on Prisoners of War and the Missing told the PanARMENIAN.Net that the detained Azeri citizen did not have documents with him. “He represented himself as Aliev Anar Marif-oglu born in 1978 in Azeri town of Mir-Bashir, where he was living the recent years. Currently the competent bodies of the NKR are clearing up the causes and motivations that made the Azeri citizen pass on the Karabakh side,” Kocharian stated.

He also underlined the OSCE and IRCC offices in Nagorno Karabakh have been informed about this incident. “Today representatives of IRCC Office in Stepanakert have already visited A. M. Aliev, who passed them a letter addressed to his relatives,” the Chairman of the NKR State Commission said.
