THE NUMBER OF DESERTERS INCREASES IN AZERBAIJAN
. The Ministry of Defense of Nagorni Karabakh has denied the widespread by the Baku media information about capture and shooting of an Azerbaijani soldier and a resident by the Karabakh military men. The informed source, that is close to the Karabakh Army of Defense has informed the "Snark" correspondent that recently because of the tense internal political situation in Azerbaijan the cases of deserting are fixed more frequently. The Azerbaijani power arrogates the disappearance of deserters to " search of the external enemy". "Obviously, an analogic situation has happened this time", offered the source.
