ArmInfo. Azernbaijani Defense Ministry has refuted the reports by
Azerbaijani media regarding the application by the Azerbaijani soldier
to the Armenian leadership. Azerbaijani Defense Ministry Spokesman
E. Sabiroghlu made relevant refutation.

On Thursday referring to an item in the Armenian press Azerbaijani
agencies disseminated a report that Azerbaijani soldier Vusal Hasanov
(Hajiyev in some sources) applied to the Armenian leadership with a
letter complaining for humiliating treatment in army and expressing
desire to desert to the Armenian party. Reference to a certain Armenian
newspaper ‘Versia’ was reported on Friday. However, Armenian Justice
Ministry Spokeswoman Lana Mshetsyan told ArmInfo the State Register
of Armenia has not registered either Armenian- or Russian-language
newspaper ‘Versia’. Though the Azerbaijani official refuted the
‘item in the Armenian press’, in reality the refutation was addressed
to the Azerbaijani media since it was they that disseminated such
‘misinformation’.
