Stepanakert, 26 February: Albert Voskanyan, the Karabakh coordinator
of the international working group on POWs, hostages and missing
persons captured in the Karabakh conflict zone, today visited captured
Azerbaijani servicemen Xayal Abdullayev, Hikmat Tagiyev and Ruslan
Bakirov in Stepanakert.

The servicemen were captured by the defence army of the Nagornyy

Nagornyy Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

In an interview with Arminfo, Voskanyan said that the moral,
psychological and physical condition of the servicemen and also the
place where they are being held are normal. He told the co-chairmen
and coordinators of the international working group about his meeting
with the POWs.
