/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Baku’s military court has launched a legal procedure
against Azeri army soldier Heybatov Vyusal Shirsultan oghly, accused
of treason in compliance with article 274 of the Azeri Penal Code,
Day.az reports.

Heybatov Vyusal Shirsultan oghly was detained by the NKR Defense Army
servicemen on April 11, 2008, when crossing the Karabakhi border near
Yusifdjanlu village, Aghdam region.

The NKR State Committee on POWs and the Missing informed the offices
of the OSCE and International Committee of the Red Cross, accredited
in Nagorno Karabakh, of the incident.

The NKR authorities granted the ICRC workers of the Stepanakert office
an unimpeded access to the captive.

On May 3, 2008 Heybatov was unilaterally conveyed to the Azeri side.
