 Azerbaijani hostages Dilgam and Shahbaz transferred from Shusha prison

Azerbaijanis Dilgam Asgarov and Shahbaz Guliyev, taken hostage by Armenia, have been transferred from a prison in Shusha, Asgarov’s son Kurdoglu Asgarov told Trend.

Kurdoglu Asgarov said he was informed about it today by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

“Today at noon, the ICRC informed me that my father and Shahbaz Guliyev were transferred from a prison in Shusha to Armenia. The committee also said that it has no information what territory in Armenia they were transferred to. Their whereabouts are currently being specified. Only their whereabouts will be established, the committee staff will visit them and then inform us,” he added.

According to Asgarov’s son, it was in September 2020 that representatives of ICRC visited the hostages last time. "At that time, my father also sent us a letter, saying that everything is fine. There is no information after that.”

In July 2014, during an operation carried out by Armenian special forces in the Shaplar village of the occupied Kalbajar district, Azerbaijani citizen Hasan Hasanov was killed, and Shahbaz Guliyev and Russian citizen Dilgam Asgarov were taken hostage. All of them intended to visit their native places and the graves of their relatives. A "criminal case" was initiated against Shahbaz Guliyev and Dilgam Asgarov. Then the so-called "court" sentenced Asgarov to life imprisonment, and Guliyev - to 22 years in prison.
