Baku - APA. "Armenian media spreads false information that soldier of
Azerbaijani Army Hasanov Rafig Rahman, 19, taken by Armenian servicemen
on the contact line on October 8 does not want to return home. Rafig
Hasanov, who has been held captive over two months and undergone
psychological pressures, wrote in his letter sent to his parents
through the International Committee of the Red Cross on December
9, 2008 that he wishes to return home. "I though a lot and made a
decision to return home. I hope we will meet soon. Do not worry. Be
patient. I hope I will return soon." International Committee of the
Red Cross told the Working Group of the State Commission over the
phone," says the statement of the State Commission on Prisoners of War,
Hostages and Missing Persons, APA reports. According to the statement,
it is not difficult to explain the reasons why Hasanov, who told the
international organizations and his parents that he wanted to return
home, "changed his mind" and "gave interview" to Armenian TV channels.
"It is obvious that Hasanov underwent pressure. This confirms once more
that Armenia continues violating the international humanitarian legal
norms and rules on captives' treatment. It "makes an impression" that
attitude towards human rights and values is so perfect in Armenia that
even captured Azerbaijani soldier "admits" it. The testimonies given to
the State Commission by the Azerbaijanis released from captivity proves
that the regime in Armenia commits terrible crimes against humanity."
