BAKU. - Nagorno-Karabakh Republic military serviceman Hakob
Injighulyan, 22, who had fallen captive in the area in early morning
hours of Thursday and as a result of losing his orientation, is taken
to Azerbaijan's capital, Baku.
Secretary Shahin Sayilov of the State Commission for Prisoners of War,
Missing Persons, and Hostages Affairs of Azerbaijan informed APA news
agency of Azerbaijan to this effect.
He noted that the reason why the Armenian servicemen had appeared in
the territory controlled by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces is being
specified.
`He has no documents. He said his name is Gevorkovich Injigulyan. But
some websites write his name and surname incorrectly. At present, he
is held at the Defense Ministry in Baku,' said Sayilov.
To note, the name of the captured soldier is Hakob, not Gevorg which
is his father's name.
Sayilov mentioned that officials from the International Committee of
the Red Cross (ICRC) will meet with the Armenian soldier in the coming
days.
`Azerbaijani representation of the ICRC does not work due to Ramadan
holiday. Therefore, they have not met with the captive yet. Probably,
the issue of his return to Armenia will also be discussed. If he wants
to return to Armenia, he will be sent back. Everything will depend on
his desire,' Shahin Sayilov stressed.
