Azerbaijan calls on int’l organizations to take steps for return of soldier’s body
Azerbaijan calls on international organizations to stop inhumane actions of Armenia and take the necessary steps for compliance with the requirements of the Geneva Convention and the return of the body of Azerbaijani soldier who died during the prevention of Armenian sabotage on Dec. 29, the Azerbaijani State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing People said in a statement on Jan. 6.
A reconnaissance group of the Armenian Armed Forces tried to violate the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border on Dec. 29 morning. The Armenian group found itself in the ambush of the Azerbaijani army while violating the borders and suffered heavy losses.

Chingiz Gurbanov, a serviceman of Azerbaijani Armed Forces, went missing during the fight.

In order to receive the body of the Azerbaijani soldier, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry officially appealed to the Azerbaijani representation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), OSCE Minsk Group, as well as Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk.
