Armenian soldiers detained an Azerbaijani soldier today after he crossed the border into Armenia near the Syunik village of Tegh.

Armenia’s National Security Service says the soldier was armed.

Argam Hovsepyan, a Tegh municipal councilor, reported that another Azerbaijan soldier fled after being detected by Armenian soldiers.

Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry identified the detained Azerbaijan solider as Ruslan Panahov and claimed he “got lost in bad weather while moving between service positions in Lachin region.”
