Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross have visited three Armenian servicemen and five civilians held captive in Azerbaijan.

The ICRC representatives delivered four Red Cross letters to the captives and received three Red Cross letters and three "safe and well" messages from them, a spokesperson for the ICRC Delegation in Azerbaijan, Shahla Gahramanova.

Currently, three Armenian prisoners of war and five Armenian civilians are held in Azerbaijan.

The civilians are members of one family – Yegishe, Ruzanna, Alfred, Gayane and Petros Gevorkyan. They crossed the Azerbaijani border in January, 2010.

Two of the captives – Ohan Arutunyan and Gevorg Tovmasyan - crossed to the Azerbaijani side in May 2009, while the third – Karen Arutunyan – crossed in July, 2009. All three soldiers wish to be sent to a third country.
