ICRC representatives in Azerbaijan visit Armenian hostages

Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) visited 3 Armenian servicemen and a family of 5 civilians who are held hostage in Azerbaijan.

The ICRC officials passed over four letters and three verbal messages from relatives of servicemen and a family.

In turn, Armenian citizens in Azerbaijan handed over five letters to their relatives through ICRC.

At present, 3 Armenian servicemen and a family of 5 civilians are held hostage in Azerbaijan.

It should be noted that while representatives of ICRC Azerbaijani office report on living conditions of the hostages, the Armenian office keeps silence.

As the head of press service of ICRC Yerevan office Ashot Astabatsyan told PanARMENIAN.Net, they cannot reveal information on living conditions of Armenian hostages for reasons of confidentiality.
