"The International Committee of the Red Cross attended the funeral ceremony as an observer. During the ceremony, a proper respect was shown. Discussions about returning the corpse of Hasanov to Azerbaijan are underway," spokesperson of the ICRC Baku office Ilaha Huseynova said.
She further said that the representatives of ICRC delivered letters of the hostages to their families. "Letters, written by two Azerbaijanis, Shahbaz Guliyev and Dilgam Asgarov, taken hostage by Armenians in Kalbajar, were handed over to their families," Huseynova said. Dilgham Asgarov`s family said he wrote that he feels well, but the family members are worried about Asgarov`s health.
Armenia violated the international legal norms by taking hostage the Azerbaijani civilians as they didn`t violate any border law between Armenia and Azerbaijan. They were on their own native Kalbajar region while being arrested.
