Azerbaijan gave Armenia a dead soldier on the contact line in the
Agdam region on Feb. 6.
Representatives of the International Red Cross Committee attended
this process in the Tazakand village of the Agdam region, Trend News
regional correspondent reported.
The Armenian armed forces moved toward the Javahirli village in Agdam
to seize the Azerbaijani army’s positions at 19:00 on Jan. 26. During
the one-hour battle, three Armenian soldiers were killed and several
wounded. The Armenians lost their position. Their military took the
bodies of the wounded and killed soldiers except for one which lay
on the contact line.

the soldier’s body.
Azerbaijani Soldier Hasanov was taken prisoner in October 2008 under
unknown conditions.
