Baku. Hafiz Heydarov â€“ APA. Today, Azerbaijan solider Firuz Farajov held in Armenian captivity marks his 20th birthday, his family told APA. His relatives said, despite 2 months had passed, they couldnâ€™t received any information about their son: â€œWe are concerned about the fate of our son. Firuz has been held in Armenian captivity for 2 months. We donâ€™t know whether he is alive or not. The International Committee of the Red Cross informed us about their visit to him, but they didnâ€™t show any proof on it. They even refused to give us our sonâ€™s letterâ€.

The family has sent another letter to Farajov: â€œWe arrived in the ICRC office two days ago and sent our next letter to Firuz. They said that the letter would be delivered Firuz in a few days. We hope that we will be informed about our son soon.â€

The soldier of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces Farajov Firuz Mirza, born in 1992, was captured by the Armenian armed forces losing his way in Tovooz region of Azerbaijan near the contact line of the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops. The ICRC representatives met with Azerbaijani solider who is still being held in Armenian captivity and got two letters form him. But they didnâ€™t deliver those letters to his family. The ICRC Office in Baku said that the â€œRed Crossâ€ letters may only contain family news. If the letters which do not meet these criteria can not be delivered to anyone else.â€
