    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azeri soldier Samir Mammadov, who trespassed the
    Armenian-Turkish border in December 2006 and yielded to the Armenian
    side, does not wish to return to Azerbaijan.

    The RA Ombudsman's Office said that Mammadov is kept in Kentron jail
    and does not complain of the conditions.

    Mammadov told that he grew up in an orphanage and joined the army on
    his own will. Later he escaped, crossed the border and surrendered
    to the Armenian side. He also informed that not long ago he received
    a letter from Azerbaijan, in which his alleged parents asked him
    to return.

    However, Samir Mammadov doesn't even want to leave for a third country
    fearing of revenge.

    The other day, the Azeri court martial presided by judge Jamai
    Ramazanov has accomplished legal proceedings against Azeri soldier
    Vusal Garajayev, sentencing him to 11 years in prison. The state
    prosecutor demanded 13 years of imprisonment for the soldier, who
    escaped to Karabakh and was later on conveyed to Azerbaijan. The
    criminal case was initiated in accomplice with article 274 (treason)
    and article 338.1 (violation of rules of guard mounting) of the Azeri
    Penal Code.

    Vusal Garajayev crossed the frontline and was detained by the NKR
    military on December 7, 2006. Observing the international obligations
    the NKR authorities informed the OSCE and ICRC accredited in
    NKR. December 23 Vusal Garajayev was conveyed to the Azeri side.
