Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian Defense Ministry's spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan responded to Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Ali Hasanov's statement on exchange of captives noting that ''we are not on the Baku market and we are not trading''.

“We strongly adhere to humanitarian principles and do not advance or accept preconditions. Merely respecting Red Cross Society’s efforts to this end, we periodically turn to the latter’s assistance to organize the return of Armenian and NKR citizens. The statement made by the Azerbaijani official is vulgar misinformation”, noted Artsrun Hovhannisyan on his Facebook page.

 

Azerbaijani media report that Ali Hasanov stated that the Azerbaijani side offered the Armenian Defense Ministry to exchange an Armenian family of 5 members and the body of the Armenian captive (Karen Petrosyan’s body- edit.) for the captives Shahbaz Guliyev and Dilgam Askerov as well as the body of the killed Hasan Hasanov.

 

Mediamax recalls that the above mentioned persons are Azerbaijani subversives. They were disarmed and arrested in Karvachar on July 10. Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan noted on this occasion that they can not be considered as prisoners of war as they are criminals and should be convicted under the NKR and international law.
