Azerbaijan returned four Armenian captives to Armenia on 4 August,
ArmInfo reported.

The transfer procedures took place in the Nakhchivan direction of the
Armenian and Azerbaijani border at 12.20PM on 4 August. The transfer
took place as result of the talks of the sides.

Armenian citizens, including Vanik Zmboyan (Gavar), Artem Zograbyan
(Noraduz), Karen Torosyan (Noraduz) and Agasi Yenkoyan (Noraduz)
were caught by Azerbaijan in the early hours of 19 April.

At present the relevant statement is prepared for the media at the
Defense Ministry, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry told Trend News. The
Defense Ministry has not revealed details, yet.

The International Committee of the Red Cross did not participate in
the Armenians’ transfer process, because Azerbaijan and Armenia did
not appeal with the request of mediation and held operation themselves.
