ArmInfo. Azerbaijani party explains the delay in the returning
process of four Armenian captives by holding "the relevant work",
Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan said today over the meeting
with students and teachers of Yerevan State Pedagogical Institute
after Khachatur Abovyan.

To recall, civilians Vanik Zmboyan (Gavar), Artyom Zohrabyan (Noraduz),
Karen Torosyan (Noraduz) and Aghasi Yenokyan (Noraduz) turned out to
be on the Azerbaijani side after the incident in one of Nakhichevan
near-border military units. The incident happened due to interpersonal
relations. By unofficial data, a group of civilians arrived "to help"
their friend, having been recently transferred to the new military
unit. A conflict started among the young man and his comrade-in-arms,
and the "brothers" arrived by several cars at the unit to settle the
dispute. A scuffle happened and the commander had to shot in air to
stop it, unofficial data say. As a result, the stranger- young men
were captivated. The Azerbaijani party tries to represent them as
raiders in every way.
