One more missing Azerbaijani is said to have been captured by Armenians
on May 8-9, 1992 during the occupation of Shusha, well-informed source
told the APA’s Karabakh bureau.
According to the information, the soldier is the resident of
Khelfeli village of Shusha Elshen Asadov. Armenians name the captured
Azerbaijanis by Armenian criminals, release the criminals and involve
them in diversion acts against Azerbaijan and other countries.
Shahin Sayilov, secretary of the State Commission on Prisoners of War,
Hostages and Missing Persons told the APA they are aware of Elshen
Asadov’s missing. He said that his name was included into the book
published by the commission "Rescue us from captivity". The book
quoted several sources about Armenians’ capturing Asadov.
According to the source, Asadov was captured along with seen
Azerbaijanis in battles for Kirs Mountain on the day Shusha was
occupied. The testimonies of the witnesses about his being in Khankendi
are also noted in the book.
Commenting on the reports about giving the names of Armenian criminals
to Azerbaijanis and involving them in diversion acts in Azerbaijan
and other countries, Sayilov said they have no such information.
"It is possible. But we will investigate it through official and
unofficial channels if there is specific fact," he said.
