Armenia's Defense Ministry Spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan has
commented on the statement by Head of Azerbaijan's State Committee for
Refugees and Forced Migrants Ali Hasanov. According to Hasanov,
Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry suggested Armenian Defense Ministry to
exchange the Armenian family of 5 members and the body of Karen
Petrosyan, civilian murdered in Azeri captivity, with Azeri
diversionists Shakhbaz Guliyev and Dilgam Askerov as well as the body
of the killed diversionist Hasan Hasanov. Meanwhile, Artsrun
Hovhannissyan posted on his official page on Facebook social media
that Armenia 'is not engaged in bargaining' and is strictly committed
to humanitarian principles, making and accepting no preconditions.
"Respecting the efforts of the ICRC, we regularly apply to the ICRC
for organization of repatriation of Armenian and NKR citizens. The
Azerbaijani official's statement is a raw misreport," Hovhannisyan
writes in the Facebook post
