Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) met with the Armenian captive Hakob Injighulyan in Azerbaijan.

As media contact person for the ICRC Delegation to Armenia, Zara Amatuni told PanARMENIAN.Net, the ICRC members conveyed a letter from the family to the Armenian serviceman.

No other details of the meeting were disclosed.

On the night of Aug 8, Injighulyan, born in 1991, failed to find his bearings on the ground and crossed into the Azeri-controlled territory.

Azeri media outlets have been since spreading information suggesting the captive is unwilling to return to Armenia.

However, Injighulyan never mentioned his unwillingness to return to Armenia in a meeting with ICRC representatives, with Azerbaijani Prisoners of War Commission Secretary noting he sees no problem with the captive's return.

Armenia has repeatedly slammed the “interviews” with Injighulyan as forced by Baku and urged the ICRC to take every effort to help the captive’s return, with no persecution to be initiated against him in the absence of crime in the act.
