To the question whether the Armenian side had carried out the transfer through the Red Cross, or whether the process had taken place without an intermediary, Zara Amatuni answered that the process had place without the involvement of the Red Cross.

"I can say that the parties worked with each other in this regard, we [i.e., the Red Cross] were not directly involved in this particular action. At the moment, we do not have any confirmation regarding our participation," said Amatuni.
