The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry says it has handed over an Armenian serviceman who ended up on Azerbaijani-controlled territory due to fog.
The Azerbaijani side said earlier the servicemen was a member of an Armenian subversive group.
The Defense Minister says further investigation established the man had lost his way and added that he had been taken for a member of a subversive group due to “suspicious and inaccurate answers.”
Deputy Mayor of Goris Menua Hovsepyan confirmed the news to News.am. He took to Facebook to express gratitude to the Russian side for a quick solution to the issue.
The Armenian Defense Ministry is yet to confirm the news.
