Baku handed over the Armenian captive, who was detained in late August,
the State Commission on POWs, Hostages and Missing Persons reported.
Fifty-three-year-old Armenian citizen Sarkis Ananyan was detained
for violation of the border with Azerbaijan in Kemerli village of
the Gazakh region on August 26, 2014.
Ananyan was returned to the Armenian side on the Azerbaijani-Armenian
border in the direction of the Bala Jafarli village of the Gazakh
region on September 25.
The process organized by the State Commission and the Defense Ministry
through the International Committee of the Red Cross passed without
incident.
In late August, Azerbaijan transferred the Armenian serviceman,
Akop Injigulyan, to a third country.
Despite the Azerbaijani side hands over the Armenian citizens, who
crossed the Azerbaijani border, to their country, however, Yerevan
rejects to return Azerbaijani hostages.
Azerbaijan has repeatedly appealed to the IRCR on return of the two
Azerbaijani hostages detained by Armenian armed forces in occupied
Kalbajar region.
Three Azerbaijani civilians (Russian citizen DilgamAsgarov, Azerbaijani
citizens ShahbazGuliyev and HasanHasanov) were detained by Armenian
forces in early July while they were visiting the graves of their
late relatives. ICRC Baku office earlier reported that HasanHasanov
was buried in Nagorno-Karabakh after being killed by Armenian forces.
