On May 31, at 2 p.m. recruits of the NKR Defense Army Ohan Harutyunyan
and Gevorg Tovmasyan voluntarily left the military unit and crossed
to the Azerbaijani side, Press Service of the Armenian Ministry of
Defense reports.
"Over the past days Azeri media have been disseminating information
about the captured soldiers, where the latter tell about the
deplorable situation and illegalities in the Armed Forces of the
Republic of Armenia.
Making use of the unstable psychological-moral condition of the
recruits and applying special means of influence, the special services
of Azerbaijan aim to raise the reputation of their own armed forces by
disseminating false information about the Armed Forces of the Republic
of Armenia and the Defense Army of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
Such tricks of the Azerbaijani propaganda once again prove
that Azerbaijan is trying to compete with the NKR Armed Forces,
which prevails with the level of military and moral-psychological
preparedness.
The international community has to address the above-mentioned
actions of Azerbaijan, since they violate the provision on defense
from the "public curiosity" envisaged by Article 13 of the Third
Geneva Convention and Article 27 of the Forth Convention," reads the
statement of the Ministry of Defense of the republic of Armenia.
