YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS: During the past years 8 Azerbaijani
soldiers passed the Armenian side, 6 of which with the mediation of the
International Committee of the Red Cross and UNHCR were transported to
the third countries and the rest two are still in Armenia, refusing
to return back to Azerbaijan, the statement of the Armenian National
Security Service says, noting that Armenia has never speculated or
politicized these facts.
The statement provided to Armenpress says that the fact about the
Armenian soldier who fall into caption in Azerbaijan July 15 gave an
occasion to Azerbaijani certain media raise a new wave of anti-Armenian
propaganda. "An Azerbaijani military expert expressed an opinion that
the soldier made this step because of "hunger and prospect of moving
to Europe". The expert ascribed himself a right to advice Armenian
soldiers "to pass to the Azerbaijani side by battalions and regiments
as by this way it will be easier for them to move to Europe"".
The statement also says that the application published by the
"1news.az" agency directed to the Armenian Armed Forces is above all
the limits of imagination. The Azerbaijani publications says that
"the blossoming" Azerbaijan advices "starving" Armenian soldiers how
to pass the mine-strewn places, how to fall into caption with the
prospect of moving to Europe and USA in future.
The statement of the Armenian National Security Service says that it
witnesses that certain Azerbaijani establishments are successively
exerting efforts to utmost tense the relations between the conflicting
parties, create a tensed moral-psychological atmosphere which directly
endangers the efforts of international mediators directed towards
peaceful regulation of the Karabakh conflict.
