Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s website published the photos of questioning a resident of the village of Chinari in the Berd region of Armenia Karen Petrosyan. Military claimed that this member of the Armenian sabotage group tried to enter the territory of Azerbaijan, but was seized.
It is noteworthy that the original video with the delayed saboteur appeared on local Tovuz TV, which reported on the arrest of Petrosyan by the locals. The residents of the Agbulag village held the first "interrogation".
Later, the press service of the Defense Ministry published the official report, which spoke of the operation, the destruction of 4-saboteurs and the capture of one.
Later the saboteur reappeared on photos and videos at the interrogation in the office of General Rovshan Akperov. On the video Petrosyan through an interpreter said that he served in the Engineer Troops in Hoktemberyan, he was sorry about the fact and wanted to return home.
Next were shown weapons and special ammunition, with which the saboteurs infiltrated the Azerbaijani side, and several photos.
Of the questioning of Petrosyan it is unclear what group it was and what they were going to do.
In turn, the Armenian side claims that Petrosyan is a drunkard who accidentally wandered into the front line, and there were no human losses on the Armenian side.
In all likelihood, Baku and Yerevan will soon discuss the exchange of saboteurs: Dilgam Asgarov and Shahbaz Guliyev, who are held captive by Armenians, for Karen Petrosyan. -02B-
