Former Azeri prisoner of war arrested
Azeri law enforcement agencies have arrested Pvt. Eldaniz Nuriyev,
who was recently released by the Armenian forces after being held as
a prisoner of war.
A warrant for his arrest was issued by the Baku Court-Martial at the
behest of the Prosecutor General's office.
"The soldier has been arrested on charges of treason, violating
sentry procedures and desertion," the Military Prosecutor's office's
press service told Interfax on Friday.
Nuriyev was taken prisoner by the Armenian forces on December 31,
2006 on the line of contact between the Azeri and Armenian armies in
the Fizuli district in Azerbaijan. He was released on January 16,
2007.
Earlier in January 2007, the Military Prosecutor's Office opened a
criminal case against Azeri soldier Vusal Garadjayev, who was also
taken prisoner by the Armenian forces in 2006.
