from Azerbaijan with the support of the International Committee of
the Red Cross (ICRC). The ICRC press service reported that this took
place on the road between the Armenian city of Ijevan and Azerbaijani

its own initiative rendered assistance with the transportation of
these people, acting as a neutral mediator.
The ICRC representatives visited the hostages before their return to
make sure that they were going to the homeland voluntarily.
