ArmInfo. Azerbaijani troops have murdered an Artsakh civilian in cold blood. The victim is a shepherd from the village of Chartar, Seyran Sargsyan.
The National Security Service of the Republic of Artsakh reported earlier that a resident of Artsakh had lost his way and had been captured by Azerbaijani troops. However, Seyran Sargsyan actually turned out to be kidnapped in a neutral zone and shot dead later, the former member of Armenia`s Parliament Naira Zohrabyan reported in a Facebook message.
"Today, about 1:00pm, Azerbaijanis entered the neutral zone in the vicinity of Chartar, abducted an Artsakh citizen and brought him to an Azerbaijani base where he was murdered. The moment of abduction was video recorded.
According to Azerbaijani media, which referred to the ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, an Armenian had allegedly attacked an Azerbaijani serviceman and tried to seize his weapon. After firing a warning shot into the air, the Azerbaijani serviceman, "acting in self-defense, neutralized" the attacker. The incident was reported to the Russian peacekeepers and the Russian-Turkish monitoring center. An investigation has reportedly been launched.
