Hasan Hasanov.
"The Armenian Defense Ministry told us that they agree on exchanging
an Armenian family and the corpse of the Armenian who had suddenly
passed away recently with only Hasan Hasanov's body. And I, in my
turn, told them that I don't agree with this and want the release of
our captives as well", he said.
Ali Hasanov said Azerbaijan's proposal is still valid and that they
are waiting for Armenia's response.
