The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry refutes reports claiming that
Azerbaijani commando have been detained by the Armenian side.

"The Armenian Defense Ministry’s information claiming that Armenian

Azerbaijani commando, Novosti Armenia news agency reported with

The source reports that on March 3, the Azerbaijani armed commando of
5-6 people entered the Armenian territory near the village of Koti in
the Tavush region of Armenia.

"The Armenian armed force was able to neutralize the commando as a
result of special measures. The Azerbaijani commando suffered losses.
One dead body is on the Armenian territory, one seriously wounded
commando died on a way to hospital and another dead body is supposedly
in the neutral zone," the report says.

According to the Defense Ministry, the other wounded members of the
commando managed to escape, crossing the border.
