The ICRC Baku Office reported that ICRC representatives delivered three messages and received six letters from the prisoners of war.
At present, three Armenian soldiers and five civilian family members are being held in captivity in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan transferred Armenian citizen Arthur Badalian to Armenia in the Agdam region on March 17. In turn, soldier Anar Hajiyev was taken to the Azerbaijani side.
Previously, Azerbaijan transferred three Armenian soldiers to the third party at their behest.
Working under the Geneva Convention, the ICRC has been operating in the region since 1992 in connection with the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict.
