Armenia has always shown human treatment to POWs, Artsrun
Hovhannisyan, Spokesman for Armenia's Ministry of Defense, told
Tert.am as he commented on the handover of an Azeri POW to Azerbaijan
through the mediation of the International Committee of the Red Cross
(ICRC).
On November 12, Telman J. Aliyev, a resident of the village of
Masamly, Ghazakh region, Azerbaijan, crossed the Armenian-Azerbaijani
border.
`I do not think that we can resolve any problem if we respond to their
uncivilized methods in a similar way. We have always shown human
treatment to POWs and will keep on doing so,' Mr Hovhannisyan said.
The international agencies dealing with POWs should call things by
their proper names.
`We are constantly cooperating with the ICRC. We have discussed the
matter with their representatives today as well. We presented a list
of 90 people we have handed over to Azerbaijan. And now we want
information on their fate. Azerbaijan is always giving evasive
answers,' Mr Hovhannisyan said.
He noted that POWs can be transported to a third country if they want.
