YEREVAN. – Armenian military serviceman Hakob Injighulyan is held captive in Azerbaijan for already seven days. But the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) representatives in Baku have not yet met with him.    

The ICRC envoys have not visited Injighulyan as of 11:50am on Thursday, the ICRC Office in Yerevan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. 

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, Armenian soldier Hakob Injighulyan (born in 1991) found himself in the territory under the control of the adversary. According to preliminary information, Injighulyan turned up there on August 8 at around 3am, while carrying out his military service, by crossing the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic-Azerbaijan border, and as a result of losing his orientation in the area.

Injighulyan was taken to Baku the next day. Inventing a variety of pretexts, however, Azerbaijan puts off a talk between the soldier and the ICRC representatives. Also, an “interview” with Injighulyan was recently aired on Azerbaijani media. Such actions by the Azerbaijani side are a flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions.
