    Azerbaijani military prosecutor considers groundless Armenia's
    accusations on death of Armenian prisoner of war

    The representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross
    were also invited for a forensic-medical examination of the dead body
    of the Armenian prisoner of war who committed suicide in Azerbaijan,
    military prosecutor of Azerbaijan Khanlar Veliyev told Trend.

    "As soon as the Military Prosecutor's Office received information
    about the suicide of prisoner of war, the ICRC Baku office was
    informed about the incident, and representatives of the organization
    have been invited to a forensic-medical examination of the dead body,"
    said the military prosecutor.

    Manvel Mamikonovich Sarybekyan, a member of the Armenian sabotage
    group, has committed suicide Tuesday at 3:00 am. The leadership of
    Armenia and the Armenian press blamed the Azerbaijani side for
    Sarybekyan's death

    Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian said that the prisoner was
    allegedly killed, Armenian Novosti-Armenia news agency reported.
    Azerbaijan's military prosecutor has called the accusations
    groundless.

    "If we had something to hide, we would not invite the ICRC to
    examination. They asked for an official death certificate of the
    prisoner of war, and we have provided it," said Veliyev.

    According to the military prosecutor, Sarybekyan hanged himself in a
    detention center.

    The prosecutor said no signs of violence have been revealed on the
    dead body of the prisoner. Currently, the fact is under investigation.

    On Sept. 11 this year at about 17:00 in the north-west front, another
    attempt of the Armenian military to sabotage was prevented. One of the
    saboteurs - Manvel Sarybekyan - was detained, three of them could
    escape.

    During interrogation, Sarybekyan admitted involvement in an attempt to
    sabotage on the territory of Azerbaijan by Armenian secret services.
