HOSTAGE'S PARENTS COULD NOT LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR SON
The relatives and friends of the Armenian conscript Hakob Injighulyan,
Armenian conscript captured and held hostage in Azerbaijan, came from
Voskevaz, their native village, to the International Committee of the
Red Cross, expecting to learn anything about Hakob. They waited for
two hours but could not meet with anyone. The media were also denied
access to the committee office.
Dragana Rankovic, an ICRC representative in Yerevan, left the building
but did not talk to the people gathered in front of the office. He
got into the car and left. His assistants told the relatives of the
hostage that Dragana Rankovic was going to a meeting with the ministry
of defense to discuss the issue of the Armenian conscript.
Gevorg Injighulyan, Hakob Injighulyan's father, said that his son
served in the army willingly, and it is impossible that he had problems
with the commanders and deserted. "He was always satisfied, whenever he
telephoned us. I visited him three times. He was so smart and served
so well, my son, that he was awarded a ten-day leave at one time and
a five-day leave for another time, as well as a parchment," he said.
He noted that he understood from the interview broadcast by the
Azerbaijani side that his son is depressed, he underwent duress,
violence. "I visited him only a month and a half ago, he has changed
in yesterday's video, he was thin," he said.
Gevorg Injighulyan also said that his son has a problem with her eyes
and he has always worn gasses since school and he was surprised to
see him in the video without glasses.
The relatives of the hostage say they are surprised at the inaction
of the International Committee of the Red Cross. They expect a rapid
response to the question how Hakob is now. Meanwhile, the relatives
say, the office did not answer their inquiries. The relatives of the
conscript think that Hakob was kidnapped by the Azerbaijanis.
Note that Hakob Injighulyan appeared on the Azerbaijani side in the
night of August 7 and 8, at around 3 am, during his duty. According
to preliminary information, he had lost his way.
