Azeri civilian repatriated
An Azerbaijani civilian who was detained in Yerevan in early
November has been repatriated from Armenia to Azerbaijan under the
auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
The operation took place on the road between the Armenian town of
Ijevan and Azerbaijan's northwestern Gazakh district at the
border.
Prior to release and transfer of 33-year-old Masim Binnatov, a resident of the Ikinji Shikhly village of Gazakh, the ICRC delegates had visited him on several occasions in order to assess his conditions of detention and treatment. The ICRC had also forwarded family news between the detainee and his relatives.
Acting as a neutral intermediary and in accordance with its mandate, the ICRC facilitated the transfer of the released civilian at the request of both the Azerbaijani and Armenian authorities. ICRC delegates had visited the civilian before the operation to ensure that he was returning on his own free will.
