The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia states that the
information publicized by a number of Azeri news agencies, and spread
through Youtube on the 17th of September in the `interview' with
M.Saribekyan, alleged member of Armenian `diversion' group who was
captured in Azerbaijan, does not correspond to reality.
M.Saribekyan completed his compulsory army service in May, 2010 and
does not have any links with the special services. Presenting the lost
shepherd, who was looking for his missing cattle, as a member of
`diversion' group is another plain step by Azerbaijani propaganda
machine. Expert assessment of the video allows to conclude that the
video was filmed under physical and psychological pressure and with
the use of special methods.
Yet another disinformation of Azeri authorities aims to destabilize
the condition on the contact line and mislead international community
and its own public, while covering up repetitive military crimes,
including the failed attempts of diversion, committed by Azerbaijan.
By openly exploiting the information for the propaganda purposes,
Azerbaijan once again blatantly violates the well known norms of
International Law. In particular, article 6 of `European Convention on
Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms', article 14 of `International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights', article 11 of `The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights' and many more.
We draw the attention of international organizations, in particular
the Organisation of Security and Cooperation in Europe and
International Committee of the Red Cross to such actions of
Azerbaijani authorities.
The spread of such a videomaterial in parallel with the appeal
presented to ICRC by the parents of M.Saribekyan is an evidence of
ignorant attitude of the Azeri side towards international humanitarian
norms and casts doubt on the effectiveness of the implementation of
these norms by respective international organizations.
Armenian Ministry of Defence expects appropriate actions by respective
structures to prevent Azeri side from taking such steps.
