13 April 2005 [15:27] - TODAY.AZ
Three Azerbaijani soldiers, who were taken prisoners by Armenian on 15 February and maintained in Nagorno-Karabakh, were not released as it scheduled earlier on 7 April due to publication of wrong media reports in the Azerbaijani media in this connection, Avaz Hassanov, the coordinator of the International working group on search of missing people and release of POWs and captives on Azerbaijan, told Trend on Tuesday.
"The Armenians assured us in absence of any problems," he underlined. On Monday Moris  Grundbaher, the new head of the International Committee of Red Cross, launched its activities in  Nagorno-Karabakh, and he will more provably assist in release of Azerbaijani POWs. "We were informed that the Azeri soldiers will be released after 10 April," he underscored.
