The Armenian Defense Ministry confirmed that soldier Gor Manasaryan
was killed at the Armenian-Azeri armed forces’ contact line.
An investigation is underway, RA Defense Minister’s spokesman,
col. Seyran Shahsuvaryan told PanARMENIAN.Net, adding that the
serviceman was without helmet, bullet-proof vest or some special
devices.
"Several days ago Manasaryan lost his way and was killed after
crossing the Azeri border accidentally. Manasaryan was not a member
of "subversive group that penetrated into the Azeri territory,"
col. Shahsuvaryan said.
On July 19, Azeri media with a reference to the Azerbaijani Defense
Ministry reported that "Armenian subversives tried to cross the
Armenian-Azeri border. One of them was killed in a skirmish. His body
and weapon were left on the Azerbaijani territory."
