Armenian military officials, with the intercession of the International Red Cross, today returned the body of an Azerbaijani soldier to Azerbaijani officials along the Yeraskh-Sadarak stretch of the border

Armenian soldiers had found the body of the Azerbaijani army captain on November 23 near a military position along the southwestern border with Azerbaijan.

The site was described as a strip of no man's land straddling the border. 

Armenia’s defense ministry claims the dead man had committed crimes at the base he was serving at and had taken flight.
