20:02, 01.09.2014
Azerbaijan's authorities said a citizen of Armenia has been taken
captive. The reports were spread by Azerbaijani media on August 26,
but the official confirmation came on Monday.
"Ananyan crossed the border in the direction of Kemerli village of
Gazakh Region and was detained by the servicemen of one of military
units of Azerbaijani armed forces," the official statement reads.
Azerbaijani officials say Armenian citizen crossed the border because
of being dissatisfied with the social conditions.
"The detained citizen of Armenia is currently under medical
supervision, and he is treated in accordance with the rules defined by
the international law," Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said.
The Armenian side is verifying the message and is clarifying the
identity of a man.
However, the report by the Azerbaijani media and Defense Ministry
contain apparent inconsistencies. The detainee was presented as "a
saboteur" in Azerbaijani media and now appeared to be "a disappointed"
citizen. The media said an Armenian man came to the village, spent 20
minutes there and was taken away by the military. The official
statement said that he was detained by the military.
Ananyan spent a week in captivity, and the Azerbaijani state agencies
were silent. Therefore, the Azerbaijani authorities tried to hide the
fact of taking a captive.
There are examples when Azerbaijani were dentying the fact of stay of
Armenians on their territory, so as not to let the International
Committee of the Red Cross visit the captive.
Resident of Chinari village Karen Petrosyan was immediately declared
"a saboteur" on August 7, and on the next day they reported about the
death of a prisoner.
