If Armenia is really committed to the rules of international humanitarian law, it should clarify the fate of more than 4 thousand Azerbaijani citizens who went missing as a result of Armenian aggression. This was stated by Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Hikmet Hajiyev, commenting for Turan the statement of the Deputy Defense Minister David Tonoyan on readiness to cooperate in the exchange of data on missing persons.
On February 4 Tonoyan at a meeting with the head of the delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Armenia Sarah Eppreht said that the Ministry of Defense of Armenia under the auspices of the Red Cross is ready to cooperate with Azerbaijan in the issue of data exchange on the missing.
Turan’s attempt to get a comment on this proposal in the State Commission of Azerbaijan on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing failed.
The Baku office of the International Committee of the Red Cross registered information about 3 700 missing persons as a result of the Karabakh conflict.
As the Head of Public Relations of the ICRC Baku Ilaha Huseynova told Turan, according to their data, as a result of the conflict 4 500 people are considered missing. Of this figure, 800 people are from the Armenian side (400 registered in Yerevan office of the ICRC and about the same in Nagorno-Karabakh). -06D-
