    At the session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
    Bulgarian Member of Parliament Alexander Arbadjiev presented verbal
    report on situation and protection of human rights in armed
    forces. The rapporteur informed that in many Member States of the
    Council of Europe the human rights are violated in armed forces. He
    underlined the importance of establishment of the Institute of
    Military Ombudsman to review their complaints. In section devoted to
    Azerbaijan the rapporteur informed that in Azerbaijan about 5,000
    soldiers died because of hard conditions and various diseases. But not
    all Member States of PACE were for description of situation of human
    rights in armed forces.

    Members of Azerbaijani delegation to PACE - Aydin Mirzazade, Elmira
    Akhundova and Ganira Pashayeva made report. A. Mirzazade informed that
    the military in equal with civilians should have the rights drawn from
    the European Convention. He considers as important establishment of
    the Institute of Military Ombudsman to which the military could make
    an anonymous complaints.

    Speaking at the session E. Akhundova said that she did not agree with
    report figures. She informed that the figures about death of 5,000
    Azerbaijani soldiers who have been died because of unacceptable
    conditions and acute diseases do not meet realities, and said that
    this misinformation is based on figures of NGOs.
