US embassy cable - 04YEREVAN2792

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) As reported in the first week of December (refs A and B), 
Armenian MOD officials acknowledged holding one Azeri soldier 
and reported to us that they had unsuccessfully sought to 
return him to the GOAJ.  Minister of Defense Serzh Sargsian 
told the Ambassador December 1 that his attempts to phone his 
counterpart in Baku to discuss the exchange had been 
fruitless.  The GOAM allegedly also attempted to arrange the 
exchange through the Red Cross (ref B).
