Armenia to do its best for return of four citizens from Azeri captivity

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia will do its best for return of four citizens kept in the Azeri captivity, the RA Defense Minister said.



"5 Armenian citizens (4 civilians and 1 serviceman) are kept in Azeri captivity. We possess information that they are subjected to violence and tortures. During a meeting with head of the International Committee of the Red Cross delegation in Armenia, I asked him to take action for return of our citizens. For its part, the Armenia side is ready to transfer Azeri captive Vyusal Eyubov," Seyran Ohanyan said.



"Azerbaijan's allegations that the captives are officers of the Armenian special forces are absurd," he added.



On April 28, thirteen young men wanted a showdown with the commander of a friend. After the commander fired into the air, they got into cars. Four of them (originally from Noraduz and Gavar) crossed the border accidentally.
