"Officials of the Baku representation of the International Committee of the Red Cross and volunteers of the Red Crescent Society visit the relatives of captured citizens and ask them for personal information about the hostages.

The due announcement was made by Esmira Orujeva, chairman of Hasret Yolu Public Association of Assistance to Captured and Hostages.

She said they ask documents, beginning from birth certificates and to diplomas, saying that the remains of their relatives will be delivered to them.

"I am not against the transportation of remains, on the contrary I am for it, but why visit the families of the hostages and say the remains of their relatives will be delivered soon. These people hope for the return of their relatives, while representatives of these organizations speak of the captured by Armenians as about the deceased", Orujeva said.

She noted that the structure has received ten appeals from the families of the hostages.

"If they need information, they should go to hospitals by places of residence and collect documents and not bother the families of the hostages", Orujeva noted.
