BAKU CANNOT PUT UP WITH AZERI SOLDIER FLEEING TO ARMENIA
The Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan considers there are "no reasons" for saying that the Azeri serviceman, who got lost May 5, deliberately crossed the border. As Press Secretary of the Armenian Defense Ministry, colonel Seyran Shahsuvarian stated in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, May 5 soldier Orhan Isa oghlu Jafarov, who was serving in one of the Nakhichevan military units on a fixed-date basis, deserted to Armenia, where he asked asylum. Yesterday the soldier was conveyed to the Azeri party.
