    KARABAKH ARMENIANS SEEK OSCE HELP IN SEARCH FOR POWS IN AZERBAIJAN

    Artsakh State TV, Stepanakert
    9 Nov 04

    The NKR (Nagornyy Karabakh Republic) union of relatives of those
    missing in action sent a letter to the co-chairmen of OSCE Minsk
    Group on 9 November.

    In its letter the union highly appreciates the activities of the
    Minsk Group and its co-chairmen in the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
    settlement. At the same time, the NKR union of relatives of those
    missing in action notes that there are Armenian POWs and civilian
    hostages in Azerbaijani prisons and military units, who were given
    Azerbaijani names by the Azerbaijani authorities in order to conceal
    their existence. They are subjected to torture and humiliation. Some
    of them cannot bear this and either die or commit suicide. They
    are buried in prison yards with numbers instead of names on their
    graves. Even Azerbaijani non-official sources report such cases.

    The NKR union of relatives of those missing in action asks the Minsk
    Group co-chairmen to provide assistance in the search for POWs,
    hostages or their remains. Azerbaijan has signed Geneva conventions
    and additional protocols to them, therefore it must observe them.
