Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 6
Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
visited the Azerbaijani citizen detained by Armenians in the occupied
Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, the ICRC Yerevan Office said
Sept. 6, according to the news.am website.
Earlier, Armenian media reported about the detention of Azerbaijani
citizen Javid Mammadov on Sept. 5 on the contact line between
Azerbaijani and Armenian troops.
Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry told Trend that it has been informed on
the detention of an Azerbaijani citizen by Armenian armed units.
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 four U.N. Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
