"He was dirty, had torn shoes and shabby and torn clothes. It was
impossible to go up to him, because of stench and lice"
Baku - APA. Spokesman for the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun
Hovhannisyan regarded interviewing of Akop Injigulyan, who was captured
while crossing the territory controlled by Azerbaijani Army, as the
violation of Geneva Convention.
In this regard, spokesman for the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry,
Colonel Eldar Sabiroghlu told APA that such a statement of the Armenian
Defense Ministry's official is incomprehensible: "Hovhannisyan should
not have spoken so. I would like to ask him. Did he think about the
treatment towards Azerbaijani captives in Armenia while mentioning the
violation of Geneva Convention? The interviews given by Azerbaijani
captives under pressures were repeatedly demonstrated on Yerevan TV
channels. Such video shootings are still used. Doesn't it mean the
violation of the relevant clauses of Geneva Convention. When Akop
Injigulyan was captured, his appearance was awful. He was dirty, had
torn shoes and shabby and torn clothes. It was impossible to go up to
him, because of stench and lice. He had a bath, was cleared of lice
and put on a new uniform of Azerbaijani soldier. The captive said
that their military unit suffered from lack of food and commanders
took soldiers' food home for their children.
Hovhannisyan hesitates to talk about it, because it is shameful. But
the hunger and poverty in Armenia have affected the army. Parents
are tired of taking food for their children, who are serving in the
military. Such unbearable situation makes mothers hold rallies in
Yerevan. To which international convention can Hovhannisyan relate
these realities in his country? I'm waiting for his reply."
