ArmInfo. Representatives of the International Committee of Red Cross
got access to four citizens of Armenia being on Azerbaijani side.
As ICRC Yerevan delegation told ArmInfo, ICRC representatives visited
the captive RA citizens last Friday. "The process is going on according
to the usual ICRC procedures", the delegation informed.
To recall, civilians Vanik Zmboyan (Gavar), Artyom Zohrabyan (Noraduz),
Karen Torosyan (Noraduz) and Aghasi Yenokyan (Noraduz) turned out to
be on the Azerbaijani side after the incident in one of Nakhichevan
near-border military units. The incident happened due to interpersonal
relations. By unofficial data, a group of civilians arrived "to help"
their friend, having been recently transferred to the new military
unit. A conflict started among the young man and his comrade-in-arms,
and the "brothers" arrived by several cars at the unit to settle the
dispute. A scuffle happened and the commander had to shot in air to
stop it, unofficial data say. As a result, the stranger- young men were
captivated. The Azerbaijani party tries to represent them as raiders in
every way. Representatives of International Committee for the Red Cross
did not have an opportunity to meet the captives for over a month.
