ICRC aware of soldier’s crossing of Karabakh­Azerbaijani line of contact

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is aware that a contract soldier has crossed the Karabakh­Azerbaijani line of contact. There was no meeting held with him yet. The Head of Communication Programs of the Yerevan Office of the International Committee of the Red Cross Zara Amatuni informed “Armenpress” about this. Among other things, the Head of Communication Programs of the Yerevan Office of the International Committee of the Red Cross Zara Amatuni underscored: “We are informed about the crossing of the line of contact on March 22. According to our commitments, we follow the incident and stay in touch with the authorities.”

Previously the Press Spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia Artzrun Hovhannisyan had reflected on the possible comments by Azerbaijan regarding the contract soldier of the Defense Army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Private Andranik Grigoryan’s going across to the rival’s side. As reports “Armenpress”, the Press Spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia Artzrun Hovhannisyan made a post on this on Facebook and particularly underscored:

“There is no need to comment on the action of the contract soldier of the Defense Army of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Private Andranik Grigoryan, who had left the arms on the combat position going across to the rival’s side. Notwithstanding, in our opinion, the Azerbaijanis will soon make comments saying that he alone, armed to the teeth, attacked Azerbaijan and their askyars hardly managed to eliminate the Armenian Rambo.”
