Armenian MP claims the capture of Armenians in Iran

Baku/22.05.21/Turan: The active use of disinformation by Armenian officials in Yerevan continues reduces confidence in state institutions, the reputation of which was seriously shaken during the 44-day war with Azerbaijan.

The MP of the Armenian National Assembly Naira Zohrabyan for the first time openly announced the capture of Armenian military personnel and their keeping in Iran. Referring to the numerous testimonies of the parents of soldiers and officers who did not return from the last year's war, N. Zohrabyan claims that that the Armenians fleeing from the Azerbaijani army crossed the Araz River to Iran, and were captured there.

This disinformation has now surpassed the false statements about two thousand prisoners of war remaining in Azerbaijan.

For a long time many parents of the missing present her reliable information, even phone calls that their sons, fleeing from the Azerbaijani army, crossed the state border with Iran in the Jabrayil region during the war, and were taken prisoner. Moreover, one of the parents clearly noted the settlement of Iran - the military unit of the village of Amandi, where, according to the information, there are Armenian border guards, the deputy said to the Armenian press.

In response to her inquiries, the Armenian Ambassador to Iran Artashes Tumanyan assured that there was nothing like this. Several parents reached Tabriz and met with the Armenian bishop, and he denies reports of the captivity of Armenians in Iran. An interesting answer was given to the deputy by the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, saying that they had no comments on this topic.

"Since the Minister of Defense of Armenia is an incomprehensible biomass, I officially appeal to the Iranian Ambassador to Armenia and ask to receive mothers who can convey certain information about the possible presence of their sons in Iran, listen to them and try to put an end to this nightmare, which lasts for several months," said Naira Zohrabyan.

News about the Armenian military trapped in Iran during the war began to spread in November 2020. Mkhitar Hayrapetyan, a member of the Armenian parliament, the head of the Armenia-Iran inter-parliamentary friendship group, wrote about this on Facebook.

Hayrapetyan held telephone conversations with a number of partners in the Armenian-Iranian relations, who did not confirm the information previously circulated in the media and social networks.

After information about the "Armenian military in Iran" appeared, family members of the servicemen began to gather at the Iranian embassy in Yerevan. However, the Iranian Embassy, ​​like the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, responded in a strange way. On November 20, the embassy did not confirm this information, promising to verify the information. Such an answer only added fuel to the fire of the Armenian distrust of the official structures.

Meanwhile, there is a documentary video of an attempt by the Armenian military to illegally cross the Azerbaijani-Iranian border in order to escape from the advancing Azerbaijani army. The video filmed from Iranian territory shows how the Armenian soldiers are trying to escape across the Khudaferin Bridge to Iran. Then the Azerbaijanis of Iran, who watched the hostilities, did not allow the Armenians to escape. They threw stones at the Armenians, forcing the invaders to retreat. Successful cases of Armenian soldiers fleeing to Iran are possible, but this is only a hypothesis. -0-
