Moscow has expressed regret over that the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is still claiming more lives.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Alexander Lukashevich called on the
Armenian and Azerbaijani sides to stick to the joint statement of the
Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian presidents issued on October 27,
2010 on the exchange of dead bodies with the assistance of the OSCE
Minsk Group and the ICRC, "Vesti" TV channel reported.
He also noted the necessity of thoroughly investigating the killing of
people in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.
Lukashevich expressed condolences to the families of the deceased
Azerbaijanis and Armenians and regretted that delay in the conflict
settlement is claiming more lives.
Recently, Chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs Ali
Hasanov appealed to the International Committee of the Red Cross
(ICRC) with a proposal to exchange hostages between two sides.
Azerbaijan offered Armenia to exchange an Armenian family of five
persons, as well as the corpse of an Armenian saboteur, who died of
heart failure in return for Azerbaijanis, taken hostage in the
occupied Kalbajar region, and Hasan Hasanov's corpse.
However, the ICRC told the Azerbaijani side that the Armenians are
willing to exchange only the corpse of murdered Hasan Hasanov for the
corpse of the saboteur Karen Petrosyan, according to Hasanov.
Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry earlier said that Petrosyan entered the
territory of Azerbaijan to carry out a provocation. He died of heart
failure in Azerbaijan.
Three Azerbaijani civilians (Russian citizen Dilgam Asgarov,
Azerbaijani citizens Shahbaz Guliyev and Hasan Hasanov) were detained
by Armenian forces in early July while they were visiting the graves
of their late relatives. ICRC Baku office earlier reported that Hasan
Hasanov was buried in Nagorno-Karabakh after being killed by Armenian
forces.
Previously, Armenian media reported that a criminal case was filed
against the Azerbaijani hostages.
Armenia violated the international legal norms by taking hostage the
Azerbaijani civilians as they didn't violate any border law between
Armenia and Azerbaijan. They were on their own native Kalbajar region.
