YEREVAN, APRIL 7. ARMINFO. Armenia’s Defence Ministry has confirmed
the reported capture of an Armenian soldier by the Azeri side.
DM press secretary Seyran Shahsuvaryan says that the Defence Minister
is making personal effort to have the soldier released.
To remind, the international task group for missing, hostages and
POWs in the zone of the Karabakh conflict reported Wednesday that
an Armenian soldier T.Z., 20, was captured in Noyemberyan district
(Armenia) Apr 1. Shahsuvaryan says that the soldier left his unit
without permission and got lost. He went in the wrong direction and
was captured as a result. The soldier was not armed. “So the Azeri
version of activities by some Armenian subversive group are not true,”
says Shahsuvaryan.
