07.10.2014 09:57 epress.am
The panic that prevailed in the town of Vardenis yesterday was tied
to the military helicopters flying overhead, as well as news about
water poisoning. Vardenis inhabitants told Epress.am that news had
circulated the evening before that Azerbaijanis had approached the
border, one of whom was captured in Kelbajar.
Kelbajar residents, in conversation with the Epress.am correspondent,
confirmed that at around 2 pm on Tuesday, locals noticed two
Azerbaijanis in their territory, one of whom they were able to
capture and deliver to law enforcement bodies, while the other was
able to get away. A resident recounted that the townsfolk saw the
Azerbaijanis while they were looking for a 14-year-old lost child. They
were unable to explain how the Azerbaijanis appeared in their town,
past the border guards. Locals also didn't say whether the captured
Azerbaijani was a soldier or civilian.
The three-day panic in Vardenis was great: the Armenian Armed Forces'
helicopters were flying over their town, while rumours circulated
among residents that the Azerbaijanis had poisoned the water and so
they shouldn't drink from it.
"Today military helicopters flew overhead; it's a very unfamiliar
situation; we don't know what's happening. Everyone is saying
something, but nothing is explained clearly," one of the residents
told Epress.am yesterday.
