The Azeris are releasing footage of what they refer to as Armenian troops captured in Hin Tagher, Hadrut area on December 12-13.
Armenian sources claim they lost communication with 9-10 troops, but from the footage they look more.
And here's a photo of what they claim to be captured Armenian troops in Hin Tagher, Hadrut on December 12-13.
Dirty games being played by the Turks to put psychological pressure on Armenia. They released 44 Armenian POWs in exchange for 2 of their criminals and most probably 2 villages (Hin Tagher, Khtsaberd). On the same day they took a large number of new prisoners.
The Azeris also report capturing 13 Armenian soldiers in Zangilan yesterday.
They will keep taking prisoners to use it as blackmail for implementation of the the shameful terms of the trilateral agreement like the road/railway passing from Zangelan through Syunik to Nakhichevan.
According to Azerbaijani news, they took 160 Armenian captives during the clashes of December 12-13.
Artsakh President spox Vahram Poghosyan: the Defense Army did not confirm this information, so I do not rule out that the Azeri sources are spreading this news deliberately in order to create additional tension. We, are urgently studying those materials to get a complete picture.
(vague statement from Poghosyan, who isn't a reliable source of information to start with)
Another Azerbaijani video showing Armenian Captives.
Parents of two soldiers directly threatened the MoD and the Chief of the General Staff of Armenia. It was an 11-minute long video curusing both and threating them with revenge.

President of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan canceled a video appeal to the people at 14:00 and wrote a post on Facebook instead, citing technical difficulties.
Arayik Harutyunyan stated that he is leaving the post of the President of the "Free Motherland" party and one of these days will approve the new structure of the Artsakh government.
Arayik Harutyunyan called Baku's ceasefire violations disrespectful to Russia.
Relatives of the volunteers/soldiers who were surrounded by the enemy in Shushi's Mets Tagher and Hin Tagher villages, blocked several routes in Armenia's Shirak province in the north, demanding urgent measures.
It is reported that there are 20 volunteers from Shirak.
Correction: 20 fighters from the Shirak province have been in Azerbaijani encircelement in Shushi's Hin Shen (not Hin Tagher as mentioned above.)
Another source says there are 150 captured fighters from the Shirak province.
The Dram is at its all-time low for the past 5 years due to: 1. The banks losing investment/loans in Artsakh. 2. Loss of confidence in the country, panic. 3. No tourism due to Covid.
Now watch out for non-performing loans after the Dram depreciation. Almost everyone gets paid in Dram, while many having loans in USD (more attractive due to lower interest rate.) They will need more Dram to pay the same USD loan which is going to lead to defaults.
The part in the red circle was what the Azeris fought for on December 12-13. It was added as territory under Russian peacekeeper control for one day, yesterday, and removed today.
I find it weird that yesterday they were protesting in Stepanakert in front of the Russian Peacekeeping HQ, today nobody talks about it, even the guy who called for protests.
2nd, Russian MoD issued the map late at night, instead of morning/noon. Unusual.
