An official investigation is underway, a criminal case has been initiated or will be initiated in the near future, during the official investigation we will understand how it was done. The RA Minister of Defense Davit Tonoyan stated this in an interview with journalists at the National Assembly, speaking about the Armenian Gurgen Alaverdyan, who appeared in Azerbaijan.
"Our initial assessment is that our soldier got lost and appeared on the side of the enemy. We still have to find out whether our soldier was abducted, or there were other conditions. " Depending on this, we will work with different international structures in different directions," he said.
We are convinced that the relevant structures within the framework of the OSCE, the Red Cross and the United Nations spare all efforts to return our servicemen, but there are certain conditions for their return, exchange, etc. The most important thing is that they are healthy, "Tonoyan added, referring to the reaction of the international community.
