Mubariz Ibrahimov
The Karabakh Liberation Organization has picketed the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry to protest at Armenia's failure to hand over the body of a soldier.
Private Mubariz Ibrahimov was killed in an incident on 18-19 June on the contact line separating Armenian and Azerbaijani troops. Four soldiers of the Karabakh forces also died in the clash.
Demonstrators today carried placards saying "Give the hero's body back".
Deputy Defence Minister Vagif Mammadov and ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu went out to talk to the demonstrators. The pickets voiced concern at the ineffectiveness of the ministry's actions and called for clearer measures.
Earlier in the day, the Karabakh Liberation Organization picketed the Baku offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross to protest at the Red Cross's failure to have Ibrahimov's body returned. The demonstrators chanted "Karabakh or die!" and "Get lost, Red Cross!". They chained together the doors to the Red Cross office and threw away the key.
"We closed the doors in order to demand the rapid return of Mubariz Ibrahimov's body to the Azerbaijani side," KLO Deputy Chairwoman Gultakin Guliyeva said.
She said her organization had protested to the Red Cross before but nothing had been done.
