ArmInfo. The employees of the International Committee of the Red Cross
Delegation to Yerevan have visited captive Azerbaijani soldier Rafig
Gasanov for 7 times. The ICRC Delegation told ArmInfo correspondent
that Gasanov and his relatives send messages to each other via
the ICRC.
According to the source, the employees of the ICRC Delegation to Baku
visited three Armenian captives Hrant Markosyan, Alik Tevosyan and
Artush Sargsyan on March 12. The visit was paid in compliance with
the ICRC standards and aimed to assess the maintenance of the POWs
and the attitude to them. Communication was established between the
POWs and their families, the source said.
To recall, Gasanov came over to the Armenian side on 8 October
2008. Gasanov himself says that he has no desire to return to his
motherland. Three Armenian soldiers found themselves in Azerbaijan
on 28 February. According to the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry,
the soldiers lost their way.
