ArmInfo-TURAN. Last week representatives of the International Red
Cross Committee (ICRC) visited six Armenian prisoners of war captured
in February 2009 in the Agjabedi region. The representatives observed
their conditions and spoke with each POW. Nothing is reported about
the content of their conversation, Turan reports.
According to the same source, the ICRC representatives are visiting
Armenian POWs Grant Markosian, Alik Tevosioan, and Arthur Sarkisian
for the fourth time. Other named POWs include Ogan Arutunian, who was
taken prisoner in May in the Geranboy region, and Karen Arutunian, who
was taken prisoner in June 2009 in the Gedabek region of Azerbaijan.
In all cases, the Armenians crossed the front line voluntarily and
surrendered, the Azerbaijani side stated.
