Armenian Defence Ministry The Armenian Defence Ministry has responded
to a Red Cross inquiry about captured Azerbaijani serviceman,
Roman Huseynov.
A spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Baku,
Ilaha Huseynova, said the Armenian Defence Ministry had confirmed the
capture of Azerbaijan Army Junior Sergeant Roman Novruz oglu Huseynov,
born in 1985.
Huseynova said that the ICRC office in Armenia had been trying to
meet the captive.
The Armenian press reported that Roman Huseynov was detained in the
northern section of the contact line at around 21.00 (16.00 GMT)
on 27 August.
The Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said that Sgt Huseynov had probably
lost his way and inadvertently crossed the contact line separating
Armenian and Azerbaijani troops. The ministry is investigating.
