ICRC MAY NOT BE AWARE OF SOME ARMENIAN POWS IN AZERBAIJAN, ARMENIAN MP SAYS
Tert.am
10.11.10
For so many years, Armenia has conscientiously complied with the
terms of Geneva conventions, according to Zharangutyun (heritage)
parliamentary group member Larisa Alaverdyan.
"Armenian authorities have always insisted that all the processes
be open and no one be kept a hostage," she told a news conference
on Wednesday.
The MP didn't rule out the possibility that the International
Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) may not be aware of the existence
of some Armenian prisoners of war (POW) on Azerbaijani territory,
as no international organization confirms the fact of kidnapping and
such individuals are often declared missing.
"I think ICRC's activities have declined compared to 1992-1994.
Unfortunately, they have become less active over the recent years,"
Ms Alaverdyan said.
