YEREVAN, DECEMBER 15, NOYAN TAPAN. An Armenian woman was repatriated on December 15, with the assistance of the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC). She had passed from the territory of Armenia to Azerbaijan by chance in early December. As Noyan Tapan was informed by ICRC Armenian Office, ICRC acting as a neutral mediator at the suggestion of the Azerbaijani and Armenian authorities, assisted the repatriation after the ICRC delegates had assured that this woman returns to her homeland of her own free will. From the beginning of its activity connected with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, since 1992, ICRC has assisted in repatriating and moving of 654 persons.
