`No Armenian prisoners withheld in Azerbaijan'
Baku, March 3, AssA-Irada
Three Azerbaijani soldiers, who fell captive in the Terter District
on February 15, may be exchanged for Armenian prisoners allegedly
withheld in Azerbaijan, a source from the state commission on
prisoners, hostages and missing persons of the self-proclaimed `Upper
Garabagh Republic' told Radio Liberty.
The Azerbaijan Defence Ministry spokesman Ramiz Malikov, however,
refuted the report, saying that no Armenian prisoners are withheld in
Azerbaijan. Talks are currently underway on returning the Azerbaijani
soldiers home, he added.*
