YEREVAN — On the morning of November 23, Armenian armed forces found the body of an Azerbaijani soldier near the border with the exclave of Nakhijevan.
In a report released on Thursday by the press office of Armenia’s Ministry of Defense, the body was found in no man’s land in front of Armenia’s combat positions at the southwestern border with Azerbaijan.
“According to operative-intelligence data, the mentioned serviceman was a captain of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, a company commander, who escaped after a crime at his military unit,” the report said.
