A senior Nagorno-Karabakh official was sacked on Monday hours after criticizing Armenian authorities’ efforts to secure the release of Armenian soldiers and civilians remaining in Azerbaijani captivity.
Boris Avagian, a deputy chief of Karabakh’s State Emergencies Service, effectively blamed pro-government members of Armenia’s parliament for Azerbaijan continuing refusal to free them when he spoke at a public discussion organized in Yerevan by other lawmakers.
Avagian also said he does not know which officials represent Armenia in negotiations on the fate of more than 100 Armenian prisoners believed to be held by Baku.

Armenian authorities say the search for a former prosecutor-general wanted on criminal charges continues after a document unveiled by a lawmaker suggested that Interpol has refused to put him on the international wanted list.
The lawmaker, Taguhi Tovmasian, said on March 16 that Interpol refused to start an international search for Gevork Kostanian because it found the case against him to be an instance of political persecution.

The Prosecutor-General’s Office did not deny the existence of the document but accused Tovmasian of distorting the facts to try to create a scandal.
