/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
employees visited Monday 6 Armenian soldiers held in Azeri captivity,
ICRC communication coordinator in Armenia, Ashot Astabatyan told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Yet, according to the Committee regulations, he did not divulge
information on the state of the captives.

As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter was told in the RA Defense Ministry’s
press office, currently 6 Armenian soldiers are held in Azeri
captivity. "Azeri media publications saying that Armenian soldiers
were taken prisoners when escaping the military unit are figments of
Azerbaijan’s anti-Armenian propaganda," spokesman for the RA Defense
Minister, colonel Seyran Shahsuvaryan said.
