Baku/27.05.23/Turan: The Armenian Defense Ministry confirmed the disappearance of two of its military personnel in the border zone on May 26 at 19 o'clock. The Armenian side rejects the claims of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry that they were saboteurs who were captured while trying to infiltrate the Zangelan region of Azerbaijan.
According to Yerevan's version, these soldiers were taking food to one of the combat positions on a “Kamaz” truck.
Judging by the photos published by the Armenian side, the truck had an accident on a mountain road washed away by heavy rains. The servicemen could get out of the car, and having lost the way, accidentally end up on the Azerbaijani side, the Armenian Defense Ministry claims. -0-
