"Azerbaijani citizen, who was captured on the front line in Agdam on
July 30, this year, is still introducing himself as Samandar Guliyev,"
Ramin Jafarov, brother of Ashraf Jafarov, who is allegedly captured
by Armenians, told APA’s Karabakh bureau.

The brother said he applied to the International Committee of the Red
Cross (ICRC) to get information about his brother. The ICRC said that
the captured is still calling himself Samandar Guliyev.

"We have recently presented a letter to the ICRC office in Baku. I
have visited the office to learn whether there is a reply to our
letter and get information on Ashraf Jafarov.I was told there that
the captured said he has no brother named Ramin. And he also said
he is Samandar Guliyev. So, we could not get exact information on my
brother," Ramin said.

Azerbaijan’s State Commission for prisoners of war, hostages and
missing persons has not responded to APA’s oral and written inquiry
regarding the case within 48 hours.
