It is demanded that the Azerbaijani serviceman, who lost his way and crossed into the Armenian territory and was detained and imprisoned for 20 years on charges of alleged murder, should be deprived of his freedom for life, APA reports citing Pastinfo.

Relatives of the person who was allegedly killed by Azerbaijani soldier Huseyn Akhundov think that the 20-year prison sentence for him is light.

They appealed against the court decision and demanded that Huseyn Akhundov be deprived of his freedom for life.

Note that soldiers of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan - Babirov Agshin Gabil (born in 2004) and Akhundov Huseyn Ahliman (born in 2003) went missing due to limited visibility because of the poor weather conditions in the border area of Shahbuz district of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic with Armenia were captured by Armenia.

Agshin Babirov and Huseyn Akhundov are accused of "illegally crossing the state border of Armenia and carrying firearms and ammunition in advance with a group of people, they were detained. Huseyn Akhundov is accused of "murdering the guard of Zangazur copper-molybdenum combine".

Agshin Babirov was sentenced to 11.5 years, while Huseyn Akhundov to 20 years.
