Defense Ministry releases footage of captured Armenian sabotage group member

Baku, June 21, AZERTAC Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense has released the footage showing the earlier captured member of an Armenian reconnaissance and sabotage group. “I, Zaver Hovanis Karapetyan, was born in the Dovekh village of Armenia’s Noyemberyan district on November 16th, 1974. I currently live in the Dovekh village. I’m a villager. I was recruited for paid combat duty. Taking advantage of the adverse weather conditions, we advanced towards the combat outposts of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. Our aim was to carry out an assault on an outpost of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces and kill the soldiers. Two members of our group were wounded and the others picked up the wounded and retreated to their Armenian outposts. I didn’t manage to flee. I decided to hide. After that, I was captured by soldiers of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces,” said the captured Armenian saboteur. A reconnaissance and sabotage group of the Armenian Armed Forces attempted to cross the line of defense of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces on the contact line between the two countries’ troops.
