A resident of Azerbaijan’s Tovuz region who went missing on the
Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line has likely been captured by the
Armenian side, State Committee for POW, Missing People and Hostage
Affairs Secretary Shahin Sayilov told Trend News.
"According to unofficial information, Tagiyev Eldar Heydar, a
resident of the Alibayli village in the Tovuz region, was captured,"
Sayilov said.
He said the commission expects Armenia to confirm the information.
A military source told Trend News that Alibayli residents appealed
to a military unit in the region, saying Tagiyev went missing Monday
night. Claims were also made that an Azerbaijani citizen was shot by
Armenian military that evening. The incident is under investigation.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has not confirmed the information.
