The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) employees visited Monday 6 Armenian soldiers held in Azeri captivity, ICRC communication coordinator in Armenia, Ashot Astabatyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Yet, according to the Committee regulations, he did not divulge information on the state of the captives.
As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter was told in the RA Defense Ministry’s press office, currently 6 Armenian soldiers are held in Azeri captivity. “Azeri media publications saying that Armenian soldiers were taken prisoners when escaping the military unit are figments of Azerbaijan’s anti-Armenian propaganda,” spokesman for the RA Defense Minister, colonel Seyran Shahsuvaryan said.
