Azerbaijan’s Security Service chief invites Armenia to closer cooperation

The chief of the State Security Service, Colonel-General Ali
Naghiyev, made a speech at the international conference on
“Increasing national and global efforts to clarify the fate of
missing persons”, Azernews reports.

“I invite the official Yerevan to closer cooperation in matters
related to captives and hostages,” Naghiyev said at the
conference.

“We hope that accurate mine maps, as well as information about
the fate of the missing persons and their graves, will be provided
by Armenia to Azerbaijan. Finding and identifying the remains of
missing persons from both sides would serve to resolve the
long-standing humanitarian crisis,” he added.

At the conference, Naghiyev expressed hope that Armenia would
provide accurate mine maps, as well as information about the fate
of the missing persons and their graves, to Azerbaijan. He also
stated that finding and identifying the remains of missing persons
from both sides would serve to resolve the long-standing
humanitarian crisis.

Naghiyev further noted that Azerbaijan is ready for
comprehensive cooperation in this direction, but that their
expectations were not fully fulfilled. He invited the official
Yerevan to closer cooperation in matters related to the captives
and hostages.

Provocations against Azerbaijan by the special services of some
states are decisively suppressed, according to Naghiyev. He noted
that reconnaissance and subversive activities and provocations by
the special services of some states against Azerbaijan are
decisively suppressed.

Ali Naghiyev: ‘Most of Azerbaijani missing servicemen
were killed in internment camps, not on battlefields’

As a result of military aggression by Armenia, Azerbaijan
suffered a large number of human losses, and hundreds of cities and
villages were destroyed, the head of Azerbaijan’s State Security
Service, Colonel-General Ali Nagiyev, said at the international
conference on “Increasing national and global efforts to clarify
the fate of missing persons”.

According to him, in the first Garabagh war, 3,890 people were
registered as missing persons in the State Commission: “3,171 of
them are servicemen, while 719 are civilians. Among civilians, 71
are minors, 267 are women, and 326 are elderly people.

Naghiyev emphasized that six servicemen went missing during the
Patriotic War: “The obtained evidence indicates that a large number
of our missing servicemen were killed not on the battlefields, but
as a result of terrible torture in internment camps.”
