The Azerbaijani delegation of the International Committee for the
Red Cross (ICRC) visited Valery Suleymanyan, an Armenian hostage
in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijani media reports that ICRC representatives visited Suleymanyan
for the third time already. They monitored the incarceration conditions
and the psychological status of the hostage. ICRC representatives
provided the hostage with articles of daily necessity and handed him
over some letters from his relatives. Azerbaijani media insistently
call Suleymanyan a POW, though the 48-year-old citizen of Nagorny
Karabakh Republic is a civilian.
Valery Suleymanyan was taken hostage on April 18 2007 losing his way in
the area of Martuni (along the contact line of NKR and Azerbaijan). He
has a wife and children in Martuni.
