PanARMENIAN.Net – In June 17, Armenian Defence Ministry hosted the
cession of the committee on POWs, hostages as missing persons. The
session was led by the head of the committee, Armenian Foreign Minister
Seyran Ohanyan.
The session focused on activities implemented in 2011 as well as future
programs. As the session participants noted, the return of Armenian
captives is progressing slowly, for, as opposed to Armenian side,
Azerbaijan does not show willingness and resoluteness in the issue.
Those present stressed the importance of calling the attention of
international institutions to Azeri attempts at restricting the
activities of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
in Baku, also taking efforts to increase the effectiveness of ICRC
activities for return of hostages, Armenian Defence Ministry press
service reported.
