Azeri law enforcement agencies have detained a soldier, Private Vusal
Garadzhayev, who was recently released from Armenian captivity.
"The investigative department for grave crimes at the Military
Prosecutor’s Office launched a criminal case on charges of treason
and violation of rules of combat duty," the press service of the
Military Prosecutor’s Office told Interfax on Monday.
Garadzhayev, born in 1988, was drafted last year. He was captured
on December 7, 2006 at the contact line separating Armenian and
Azerbaijani forces in the Agdami district of Azerbaijan. He was
released on December 23, 2006.
The prosecutor’s office has been probing the reasons for Garadzhayev’s
surrender to Armenia.
