/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Vusal Magomed ogly Garacheyev, captured on
December 7, upon return to Azerbaijan will be sent to prison to spend
a long time there," NKR President Arkady Ghukasian said in Yerevan
December 17. In his words, ‘the Azeri soldier knowingly crossed the
border in a grave health state, since he was constantly beaten by
his fellows.’ "There is no necessity to investigate the incident,
it’s clear."

Ghukasian remarked adding that ‘the captive does not want to return
to Azerbaijan fearing of savage punishment.’

The NKR President also informed that ‘within a day after capturing
an appeal was sent to the International Committee of the Red Cross
and presently technical issues are being settled.’ At the same time
President remarked that ‘if the Azeri soldier keeps on saying that he
does not want to return the Karabakhi side will not insist.’ "However,
to all appearance, pressure will be exerted upon his family and it
will make him return," he said reminding that unlike Azerbaijan the
NKR authorities always timely convey the captives to the ICRC while
Baku carries out investigation during several months and tries to
recruit the captives, reports IA Regnum.
