The identity is determined of the Azerbaijani group member who was rendered ineffective in Karvachar Region of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR). 

The Azerbaijan State Committee for Work with Refugees and IDPs has issued a respective statement, reported the APA news agency of Azerbaijan.

The Committee’s press service told APA that a series of meetings were held with head of the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) representation in Azerbaijan regarding the Azerbaijani “hostages.”

The Azerbaijani side expressed its concern over the lack of information about the “hostages.”

“At these meetings, ICRC was told to intensify its measures to get information about the hostages.

“Consequently, ICRC has managed to obtain several photos, one of which belongs to Hasan Hasanov, who was allegedly killed by Armenians. These photos were shown to his relatives and they confirmed Hasan Hasanov. ICRC has already started talks to return Hasanov’s corpse. However, they were told that there is a need for additional clarifying materials to identify the corpse,” the Committee said, APA reported.

The matter refers to the members of an Azerbaijani sabotage-intelligence team which was recently rendered ineffective in Karvachar. One of the members is killed and two others are arrested. The Armenian side has announced that charges have been brought against the arrestees, and pursuant to several articles of the NKR Criminal Code.
