    VLADIMIR KAZIMIROV CALLS TO EXPEDITE REPATRIATION OF AZERI POWs


    11.04.2005 04:03

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On knowing about the three Azeri soldiers, who are
    presently kept in Nagorno Karabakh, former OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair,
    Ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov made a request to expedite their repatriation
    with the assistance of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Echo
    Azeri newspaper writes. In his words, he was told that Ruslan Bakirov,
    Hikmet Tagiyev and Hayal Abdullayev are still under examination. It also
    turned out that besides the norms of the international convention the
    conflicting parties had agreed on the soonest repatriation of the POWs. `The
    incidents at the contacts line resulted in causalities. Moreover, the Azeri
    party did not bring the detainment of several Armenians (Aristokes
    Martirosian, Gevorg Khlghatian and Eghia Humanian) to the notion of the ICRC
    and kept them for about 2 months', Kazimirov noted. He expressed hope that
    the conflicting parties will abide by the commonly accepted international
    norms. It is also known that OCSE Chairman-in-Office, Slovenian Foreign
    Minister Dimitrij Pupel requested for sooner repatriation of the Azeri
    soldiers. The exact date the repatriation will in many respects depend of
    ICRC possibilities.
