The government of Nagorno Karabakh as a goodwill gesture will convey Azeri citizen Ashraf Jafarov, captured in June when crossing the Karabakh border, to the Azeri side. As reported by the NKR state commission on war prisoners and missing, the NKR leadership is hopeful that Baku will release two Armenians kept in Azeri custody for long time.

Ashraf Jafarov, 22, native of Garachuhur settlement of Suranhali region of Azerbaijan, was captured by NKR soldiers on 30 June 2007.
