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.
