Azerbaijani forces have detained an Armenian reconnaissance agent at
the contact line separating Armenian and Azerbaijani forces.
The detained Armenian was part of a group who attempted to cross the
northwestern section of the contact line at about 17.00 (12.00 GMT)
on 11 September, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry reported.
The reconnaissance group tried to escape when they realized they
had been spotted, but the Azerbaijani forces managed to detain scout
Manvel Mamikonovich Saribekyan.
Saribekyan said during his first interrogation that the group had been
trained and sent to the Azerbaijani side by the Armenian intelligence
services. A full investigation is under way.
Reports of exchanges of fire on the contact line have recently become
more frequent, with at least two Azerbaijani soldiers killed in close
fighting on 31 August.
The OSCE Minsk Group, mediating a settlement to the conflict, on 9
September urged all parties to observe the cease-fire.
