Two Azeri diversionist groups neutralized in Armenia – ministry

YEREVAN March 12

The Armenian military has neutralized two diversionist groups that
sneaked into the country from Azeri territory, the Armenian Defense
Ministry told Interfax on Friday.

One of the groups consisting of 3 men was eliminated in the Tavush
region of Armenia on March 3. The second group was neutralized on the
same day, it said.

"As a result of the measures taken, three militants that sneaked from
Azeri territory were killed on March 3. The bodies of two of them are
in Armenia," the ministry said.

"It is possible that they are Wahhabis. Personal items and tattoos on
the killed men give reason to say that they had connections to Azeri
special services and underwent special training," the ministry said.
