Azerbaijani Defense Ministry: Armenian soldiers pass to Azerbaijani territory in groups

05 June 2009 [15:38] - TODAY.AZ
Armenian Defense Ministry has spread a statement regarding the video tape of Armenian soldiers Ohan Harutyunyan and Gevorg Tomasyan, captured by Azerbaijanis, in which the Ministry states that the special forces of Azerbaijan attempt to raise the influence of their army by way of provocations.
In this connection, Day.Az correspondent contacted official of the press service for the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan Teymur Abdullayev who said:

"It is clear that Armenia will not say anything positive about us. Armenian soldiers pass to Azerbaijan. And their transfer was on a goodwill basis. The recent transfer of two soldiers of the Armenian armed forces again proves the unbearable conditions within their army, like Armenian soldiers say.

It is significant that immediately after the transfer to our territory Armenian servicemen criticize their army. And in order to find way out of this situation, Armenia merely has to make such statements", noted Teymur Abdullayev.

Notably, on May 31 of 2009 at about 12:00, soldiers of division No 38862 of the military unit of the armed forces of Armenia Ohan Harutyunyan (born in 1991) and Gevorg Tomosyan (born in 1991) passed to Azerbaijani side on a goodwill basis.
