Captive Azerbaijani Servicemen Returned To Motherland

CAPTIVE AZERBAIJANI SERVICEMEN RETURNED TO MOTHERLAND

Yerevan, January 16. ArmInfo. An Azerbaijani serviceman previously
detained in Nagorny Karabakh was handed over to the Azerbaijani
authorities under the auspices of the International Committee of
the Red Cross (ICRC). The operation took place on the front line,
in the Agdam region of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The ICRC, acting as a neutral intermediary and in accordance with
its mandate, facilitated the transfer of the released serviceman at
the request of all sides and with their full cooperation.

ICRC delegates visited him before the operation to verify that he
was returning of his own free will.

Since the start of its activities in connection with the Nagorny
Karabakh conflict in 1992, the ICRC has helped repatriate or transfer
661 people.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
