    Azerbaijan

    The Armenian side will hand over Azerbaijan prisoner of war Rafiq
    Hasanov April 7, Armenian media reported.

    It will happen in the Sadarak region of the Nakhchivan Autonomous
    Republic at 12:00 a.m., Armenian Defense Ministry press-service
    told Mediamax.

    Rafiq Hasanov was detained in October 2008 in the direction of the
    village Kemerli of Azerbaijani Gazakh region.

    The Armenian side will hand over one of two prisoners of war detained
    in Armenia, the State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and
    Missing People of Azerbaijan told Trend.

    Besides Rafiq Hasanov, the Armenian side detains soldier Anar Hajiyev,
    taken prisoner in May 2009 in the direction of Fizuli region of
    Azerbaijan.

    Today, the Armenian side holds another hostage - Eldar Tagiyev. He
    was detained in the Tovuz region of Azerbaijan in December 2009.

    The Azerbaijani side got bodies of Azerbaijani citizens killed by
    Armenian armed forces on Saturday, April 3, at 12:00 a.m. in the
    Sadarak region of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.

    The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
    are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's resolutions
    on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied
    territories.
