    Azerbaijan on Thursday repatriated three Armenian nationals that
    were detained last month after straying into Azerbaijani territory
    in uncertain circumstances.

    Citing the Azerbaijani Ministry of National Security, the Trend news
    agency reported that the handover was arranged by the International
    Committee of the Red Cross and took place in the westernmost section
    of the Armenian-Azerbaijani frontier, which is close to Georgia.

    The Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman, Colonel Seyran Shahsuvarian,
    confirmed the information, saying that all three men are civilians.

    "They had accidentally crossed into Azerbaijan," Shahsuvarian told
    RFE/RL. He said two of them entered Azerbaijani territory via Georgia
    but could not give further details.
