YEREVAN. - Armenia is committed to principles of humanity, and is not
putting forward or accepting preconditions, spokesperson for Armenian
Defense Ministry said commenting on Azerbaijani official's statement.
Head of Azerbaijani committee on refugees and displaced persons Ali
Hasanov said Azerbaijani Defense Ministry offered Armenia to exchange
a five-member Armenian family and the body of Karen Petrosyan for
Azerbaijani saboteurs Shahbaz Guliyev and Dilgam Askerov, as well as
the body of dead saboteur Hasan Hasanov.
"We are not yet in Azerbaijani market and we are not engaged in
bargaining. We are committed to principles of humanity, and are not
putting forward or accepting preconditions. Respecting ICRC efforts,
we occasionally appeal for organization's help to return the citizens
of Armenia and NKR. Such a statement by Azerbaijani official is
misinformation," Artsrun Hovhannisyan said.
Karen Petrosyan, a resident of Chinari village, was taken captive on
August 7, and on the next day Azerbaijani side reported about his
death of "a heart failure". Armenian investigation committee has
launched a criminal case.
