Красный Крест содействовал возвращению на родину армянского военнопленного

Армянский солдат, перешедший линию соприкосновения 22 марта 2015 года, был возвращен сегодня на родину в рамках действий, проведенных под эгидой Международного комитета Красного Креста (МККК). Передача военнопленного состоялась на линии соприкосновения вблизи села Баш Гервенд Агдамскомского района Азербайджана. По данным азербайджанских СМИ пленный Андраник Григорян Араратович является контрактником Вооруженных сил Армении.

В заявлении Красного Креста в Женеве говорится, что "во время его плена МККК регулярно посещал его с целью оценки условий, в которых он находился и лечения, которое ему оказывали и помогали с установлением связи с семьей".

В заявлении также сказано: "Действуя в качестве независимого посредника и в соответствии со своим мандатом, МККК содействовал возвращению в соответствии с решением властей Азербайджана и при полном сотрудничестве всех сторон. Военнопленный ранее подтвердил сотрудникам МККК, что он возвращается по своему собственному желанию".

На основании своего мандата в соответствии с Женевскими конвенциями, МККК работает в регионе с 1992 года в связи с нагорно-карабахским конфликтом.

European States "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia"

A number of European states have said that they are "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia". In a Joint statement of 11 July 2025 the Foreign Ministers of Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the High Representative of the European Union commented on recent developments in Georgia We, the Foreign Ministers of European democracies, are disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia. We strongly condemn the recent, politically motivated, imprisonment and detention of the leaders of Georgian opposition, clearly designed to stifle political opposition in Georgia, a few months ahead of the local elections. Their detention, as well as arbitrary arrests and increasing repression of other Georgian authorities` critics, representatives of civil society, peaceful protesters and independent journalists, contribute to dismantling of democracy in Georgia and rapid transformation towards an authoritarian system, in contradiction to European norms and values. Recent legislative changes aim at stifling independent civil society and legitimate protest.
