Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have visited "Armenian citizen Albert Abrahamyan, who was detained in Azerbaijan a few days ago". As ICRC Baku Office reported, the organization controls the issue and expresses interest to the fate of detainee. It should be noted that "according to the reports of law-enforcement bodies of Azerbaijan Abrahamyan was detained September 20 in a forest near Chilyagir village in Gusar region. He had presumably come to Azerbaijan having crossed the Russian-Azeri border. Soon it was cleared out that he is resident of Zavajugh village of Marni region of Armenia. In a conversation with journalists Azeri Minister of Internal Affairs Ramil Usubov reported investigation over the case is under way. According to the Minister, A. Abrahamyan wrote in his explanation that he had arrived in Azerbaijan to visit his brother", reported the Caucasian Knot.
