The minister of defense Seyran Ohanyan held a meeting of the
Commission for Captives, POWs and the Missing on June 17. The
activities in the first half of 2011 and the future programs were
discussed.

The members of the commission stated that the return of captives to
their homes is slow because the Azerbaijani side does not display
equal readiness and commitment.

The members of the commission said the international organizations
should pay attention to the attempts of the Azerbaijani government to
limit the activities of the Baku office of the International Committee
of the Red Cross and improve the activities to return captives and
POWs home.
