ArmInfo. The official structures of Azerbaijan exert special
psychological and moral pressure on the Armenian POWs, as well as
subject them to bodily suffering and violence, as a result of which
the latters have to make fabricated statements. We are aware of this
from the reliable sources, spokesman of Armenia's DM, Colonel Seyran
Shahsuvaryan told ArmInfo.
The Armenian POWs are deprived of correspondence, as well as an
opportunity to meet their relatives, that is a gross violation of the
international law, in particular, the 3rd and 4th Geneva Convention.
This happens against the background of complete provision of
the Azerbaijani POWs by the Armenian party with the right for
communication with the relatives, receipt of medical aid, as well as
freedom of speech.
The Defense Ministry of Armenia claims once more of its adherence to
the international standards and urges UN and International Red Cross
Committee to pay attention to the gross flouting of the Armenian
POWs' rights, as well as use of the POWs by Azerbaijan as a means
of internal and external propaganda. In view of this, the Defense
Ministry of Armenia demands to stop this inhuman activity carried
out by Azerbaijan at a state level.
