Representatives of the International Committee of Red Cross [ICRC] in
Xankandi [Stepanakert] have again met Aydin Huseynov, a soldier of the
Azerbaijani army, who was taken prisoner. To recap, this is the second
meeting of the ICRC representatives with the Azeri POW.

We have received this report from the ICRC. The state commission of
the Azerbaijani National Security Ministry for POWs, hostages and
missing persons confirmed the report. They said that the situation of
the Azerbaijani soldier in Armenian captivity is OK. The commission’s
talks with Yerevan [on securing Huseynov’s release] are still
fruitless.
