Hasanov expressed Azerbaijan`s concern over the fate of Azerbaijanis taken hostage by Armenia, saying there is no information about them yet. He said President Ilham Aliyev pays attention to these issues.

Head of the Working Group of the State Commission on Prisoners of War Hostages and Missing persons Firudin Sadigov was also present at the meeting.
