rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issued a statement\u00a0<\/a>claiming that its forces \u201cprevented an Armenian sabotage attempt\u201d the night before, capturing one Armenian. Shortly after, the Armenian defense ministry spokesman denied any such attempt or capture of any of its servicemen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hours later, Azerbaijani media published a video of a man identified as 43-year-old Zaver (sic) Karapetyan, who, apparently reading a prepared text, said that he was from the village of Dovegh, near the Armenian town of Noyemberian, in northeastern Armenia, on the border with Azerbaijan. He said he was a \u201cvillage teacher,\u201d but also claimed that he worked for the Armenian military. In released\u00a0video images of the interrogation, Karapetyan wore a civilian attire with a tie, with a military vest full of machine gun magazines on top. The vest\u2019s camouflage pattern was similar to the one used by Azerbaijani, rather than Armenian military.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Local officials in Dovegh quickly denied that anyone by the name of Zaver (or more likely Zaven) Karapetyan\u00a0lived in their village. Soon after,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.am\/rus\/news\/396566.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Armenian media outlets<\/a>\u00a0determined that a 43-year old by that name was a resident\u00a0of Vanadzor, about 100 kilometers from Dovegh, but had not been seen in the city for several\u00a0years. Karapetyan is said to have been raised in an orphanage in the Yerevan district of Nubarashen. In the early 1990s, the Charles Aznavour foundation provided him with housing in Vanadzor, but some time later\u00a0Karapetyan\u00a0became homeless.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Writing in his Facebook account on the evening of June 20, Gazakh-based NGO activist Xamis Masimov claimed that hours earlier local residents in the border village of Kemerli of Gazakh district (located a few kilometers from Dovegh) had apprehended an Armenian civilian, who was later taken into custody by Azerbaijani armed forces. Since the publication of the defense ministry statement, Masimov\u2019s posting is no longer visible on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-807\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/armenian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/107\/2024\/01\/IAS-Masimov-Xamis-150x150-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"237\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is unclear under what circumstances the man ended up crossing onto the Azerbaijani side of the border, but shortly before his apprehension the area experienced a<a href=\"http:\/\/ru.aravot.am\/2017\/06\/21\/244458\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0hail storm and strong winds<\/a>, possibly causing him to lose his way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the Azerbaijani government had detained a number of Armenian civilians, charging them with \u2018sabotage.\u2019 Most such\u00a0cases occur not in Karabakh, but in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Gazakh,+Azerbaijan\/@41.1930706,45.0301791,12z\/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4041399a0ba615b5:0x8c025de3238ccd77!8m2!3d41.2243518!4d45.2564749\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">northeastern Armenia \/ northwestern Azerbaijan (see map),<\/a>\u00a0where dozens of Armenian and Azerbaijani settlements are located in close proximity.
