Azerbaijan buries soldier, conceals his death

An Azeri soldier was killed in the Tartar direction of the Karabakh contact line on May 1 and buried in Baku on May 2, Razm.info reports citing the results of its own monitoring of Azerbaijani open sources.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry and media sources, however, have yet to report on the serviceman's death.

The soldier's death was later covered by opposition TV channel Meydan.tv which said Elmar Ilham oglu Memmedov (b. 1996) was killed "in Armenia's fire."

According to the report, Memmedov was conscripted last year, but a photo featuring him in uniform suggests that the soldier should have been discharged from the army back in 2015.

Memmedov was probably a contract soldier.
