Azerbaijan, Baku, July 31 / Trend K. Zarbaliyeva /
The Azerbaijani State Commission on POWs, Hostages and Missing Persons began taking important military action to liberate a serviceman of the Azerbaijani army, held captive in Armenia, the commission told Trend today.
The Commission sent a formal appeal to the relevant international organisations immediately after getting information that on July 26, 20-year-old Farajev Firuz was captured by Armenian troops.
The representative office of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Armenia is assisting in this matter.
The Commission is concerned that the information about Farajev's family disseminated by the media after his capture will prevent work being done on his release.
Local media have distributed personal information about Farajev's family without any agreement with them, any clarification or additional testing.
The state commission stated that as the only organisation dealing with the liberation of prisoners and hostages, including Farajev, it takes all necessary measures and disseminates information about it when it considers it necessary.
'Taking into account all of this, the State Commission recommends that the media proceed from the general interest, to prevent the spread of unproven, unfounded personal and family information while covering this issue', the report says.
