YEREVAN, JUNE 25, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense at last found courage to declare that the 2 Azerbaijani servicemen who went missing on June 23, were found dead in the mined area of Armenian-Azerbaijani border. As Armenpress informs citing Azerbaijanian “APA” news agency, the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan informed that with the intermediation of International Committee of the Red Cross, the corpse of the junior sergeants Musa Musayev and Tural Yolchuyev were taken out from the mined zone and passed to the Azerbaijani side.

Yerevan office of the Red Cross had earlier applied to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia to get warranty to take out the corpses of two Azerbaijani servicemen from the near-post part of Azerbaijani Armed Forces which is situated in front of Vazashen village. Artsrun Hovhannisyan didn’t exclude the possibility that the servicemen were lost. Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote in his Facebook page; “Warranty was provided at once by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia, and the processes in such cases are familiar to the Azerbaijani side. We are informing that no Azerbaijani serviceman moved to the Armenian side.”
