Armenian security forces continue search for Azeri soldier
The hunt for the Azerbaijani soldier, who has crossed into Armenia with his fellow serviceman, continues today, Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Aram Torosyan told Panorama.am.
"At the moment, the search continues in cooperation with law enforcement agencies," he said, without elaborating further.
Armenian security forces on Monday detained one Azerbaijani soldier in Ashotavan, a village in Syunik Province. Local residents said that he wore civilian clothes and carried no weapons.
The detained Azeri man claimed there was another serviceman with him. The Defense Ministry said the search for the latter was underway.
