    ICRC IN TALKS WITH ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN ON RETURN OF DEAD BODIES

    Trend, Azerbaijan
    Aug 15 2014

    By Elchin Mehdiyev - Trend:

    The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is conducting
    dialogue with Armenian and Azerbaijani sides on the return of dead
    bodies, ICRC Azerbaijani Office Head, Ilaha Huseynova told Trend on
    Aug. 15.

    She noted that in order to return the bodies there must be an agreement
    between the parties, adding that the ICRC is a neutral intermediary.

    On Aug. 7, an Armenian reconnaissance and sabotage group attempted
    to cross the contact line of troops on the territory of Azerbaijan's
    Tovuz District. Four of the Armenian group members were killed as
    a result of measures taken to neutralize it, while another member -
    a resident of the Chinari village of Berd District Karen Petrosyan
    (born 1989) was arrested.

    The next morning Petrosyan died suddenly due to unknown reasons.

    According to preliminary report, Petrosyan died of acute
    cardiopulmonary failure, and acute myocardial failure.

    The experts at Ganja Regional Branch of the Defense Ministry's Forensic
    and Pathological Anatomy Center are establishing the reasons for
    Petrosyan's death.

    Previously, Armenian media reported that the Armenian forces, during
    an operation in the occupied Kalbajar District's Shaplar village on
    July 11, killed an Azerbaijani - Hasan Hasanov.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in
    1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
    result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
    20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
    seven surrounding districts.

    The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
    of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently
    holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
