ICRC: Azerbaijani citizen repatriated

YEREVAN, JUNE 10, ARMENPRESS. An Azerbaijani civilian – a woman who had crossed the international border into Armenia on 7 June – was repatriated under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on June 10. She was handed over to Azerbaijani officials at the international border, on the road between Ijevan in Armenia and Gazakh in Azerbaijan, ICRC Armenian Office informed “Armenpress”.

The ICRC, acting as a neutral intermediary, helped the Armenian and Azerbaijani authorities carry out the repatriation. ICRC representatives visited the woman before she was sent back to Azerbaijan to assess her treatment and the conditions in which she was being held.

Based on its mandate under the Geneva Conventions, the ICRC has been present in the region since 1992 in connection with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Citizen of Azerbaijan Valiyeva Zohra Vardzar, 1977, entered the Armenian territory from Azerbaijan on June 7.
