Armenian religious organizations operating in Iran deceive Iranian
citizens of Armenian origin and send them to serve in ‘Nagorno Karabakh
Republic’ armed forces in the territories administered by separatist
regime, APA reports quoting resources in Iran. Iranian servicemen
detained two Armenian trespassers in the region bordering on the
occupied Azerbaijani territories.
They were identified to be Iranian citizens, Isfahan Armenians. One
of the detainees – 27-29 year old Mikhak Teymurian said he went to
Nagorno Karabakh by propaganda of religious center of Iranian Armenians
Khalifagareyi-ye-Erameni. Teymurian said the center propagandizes
that each Iranian Armenian who will serve in the army of "Nagorno
Karabakh Republic" for a year will be given land, house and provided
conditions for leaving for one of European countries.
Teymurian said he served in the army of ‘Nagorno Karabakh Republic’
for eighteen months, but was given nothing they had been promised. He
underlined that he suffered much and that’s why fled to Iran. /APA/
