neighboring Iran, Azernews reports, citing the agency.
At around 1348 hours on September 3, the border guards
discovered signs of a state border breach from Iran to Azerbaijan
in the service area of Goytapa border detachment's border outpost
near Yardimli District's Buravar village.
The border checkpoint was promptly notified, the service area
was cordoned off, the border strip and control devices were
inspected, and two unidentified men's footprints were discovered.
The local law enforcement agencies were informed and a border
search was launched.
As a result of the operational measures, two parcels with an
approximate weight of 20.4 kg of drug-like substance (marijuana)
and 710 psychotropic pills (methadone-40) hidden in a ravine in the
border area were seized.
Elmir Mamishov (30) and Zaur Beybudov (42) of Yardimli District
were apprehended while attempting to cross the state border with
the drugs detected as a result of the joint operation-search
measures carried out with Interior Ministry staff.
Operational-investigative measures are underway into the
case.
