    Azeri Soldier Captured In Karabakh

    Associated Press
    July 2, 2004

    Armenia forces in Nagorno-Karabakh detained an Azerbaijani soldier who
    allegedly crossed into Armenian-held land, authorities said Thursday.

    The Azerbaijani soldier, identified as Aidyn Huseinov of the Azerbaijani
    capital, Baku, was detained along the eastern section of
    Nagorno-Karabakh border on Wednesday, officials in Nagorno-Karabakh
    said. Nagorno-Karabakh officials said they notified the International
    Committee of the Red Cross and the Organization of Security and
    Cooperation in Europe about the detention, and that the Red Cross was
    welcome to visit the captured soldier.

    Meanwhile, in Azerbaijan, the Foreign Ministry said it was concerned
    about the U.S. Congress' move to grant US$5 million in aid to
    Nagorno-Karabakh. The money "could be directed at the encouragement of
    illegal activity, extremism and aggressive separatism on the territory
    of Azerbaijan," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
