    ARMENIAN BODY CLAIMS 130 POWS IN AZERI PRISONS

    Regnum, Moscow
    11 Apr 06

    As of today there are 130 Armenian prisoners of war in Azerbaijan,
    deputy chairman of the Community and Law public organization, Suren
    Ovannesyan, has said.

    He said that the Armenian Defence Ministry had elaborated a list of
    missing people and their whereabouts. However, the process of their
    return is practically impossible. Azerbaijan had also published
    information about the Armenian prisoners of war. But information
    about the prisoners of war has not been made public since [Azerbaijani
    President] Ilham Aliyev came into power.

    "Access to prisons in Azerbaijan is even barred for international
    organizations," Suren Ovannesyan said and added that Armenian prisoners
    of war are exploited as free labour force in Azerbaijan.

    Suren Ovannesyan noted that there are no Azerbaijani prisoners of war
    in Armenian prisons as they were returned to Azerbaijan unilaterally.
