Grant Markosian, Alik Tevosian and Artur Sarkisian – Armenian soldiers, who were detained by civilians near the line of contact in Munakhorlu village of Agjabadi region on the night of February 27-28 and handed over to Azerbaijani servicemen, appealed for leaving for the third country, secretary of State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons Shahin Sailov told APA.
Sailov said their appeals were being considered.
“The Armenian servicemen have already appealed to the UN office in Azerbaijan. It is not known when the appeal will be considered. It is a long-lasting process. It took 8-9 months to send the previous Armenian serviceman to the third country,” he said.
Grant Markosian, Alik Tevosian and Artur Sarkisian crossed the line of contact under the control of Azerbaijani Armed Forces on the night of February 27-28. The Armenian soldiers said they did it, as there is lack of care in the army and they can not even find bread to eat.
