The International Committee of the Red Cross visited the 15-year
old citizen of Azerbaijan detained earlier in Nagorno-Karabakh, and
handed the information received from him over to his family, the head
of Public Relations Department of Azerbaijani representation of the
ICRC Ilakha Huseynova told Trend Sept.10.
Huseynova noted that the ICRC is holding talks with the parties of
the conflict, but they are not disclosed.
"His transfer depends on the agreement of the parties. If there is an
agreement to return the detainee and the other party agrees to accept
it and the detainee himself agrees to return, then the ICRC takes
part in the return operation as a neutral mediator. Upon completion
of the operation the committee speaks with a relevant application,"
Huseynova said.
The minor resident Mammadov Javid Samir oglu (born in 1999) was
taken hostage by separatists near the village of Chayli in the Tartar
district.
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.
