    ICRC'S YEREVAN OFFICE HAS RECEIVED NO REQUESTS ON POW REPATRIATION

    To date, no request or claim on organizing the repatriation of
    either Armenian or Azerbaijani refugees has been submitted to the
    International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), according to Ashot
    Astabatsyan, Communication Programs Coordinator at ICRC Yerevan Office.

    ~SThe International Committee of the Red Cross has the status of a
    neutral mediator, and its activities towards organizing repatriation
    derive from such status,~T he told Tert.am.

    According to Mr. Astabatsyan, there are currently 8 prisoners of war,
    6 civilians as well as 3 dead bodies on Armenian and Azerbaijani
    territories.

    In a recent meeting in Astrakhan, Russia, Armenian and Azeri Presidents
    Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev reached an agreement on exchanging
    prisoners of war and returning the dead bodies of all those killed
    as a result of ceasefire violation.
