One more missing Azerbaijani is said to have been captured by Armenians on May 8-9, 1992 during the occupation of Shusha.

According to the information, the soldier is the resident of Khelfeli village of Shusha Elshen Asadov. Armenians name the captured Azerbaijanis by Armenian criminals, release the criminals and involve them in diversion acts against Azerbaijan and other countries.

Shahin Sayilov, secretary of the State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons told the APA they are aware of Elshen Asadov's missing. He said that his name was included into the book published by the commission "Rescue us from captivity." The book quoted several sources about Armenians' capturing Asadov.

According to the source, Asadov was captured along with seen Azerbaijanis in battles for Kirs Mountain on the day Shusha was occupied. The testimonies of the witnesses about his being in Khankendi are also noted in the book.
Commenting on the reports about giving the names of Armenian criminals to Azerbaijanis and involving them in diversion acts in Azerbaijan and other countries, Sayilov said they have no such information.

"It is possible. But we will investigate it through official and unofficial channels if there is specific fact," he said.
