Absence of Armenian-Azerbaijani dialogue complicates POW's return
13:17 18.09.13
A major obstacle in Armenia's efforts to return Hakob Injighulyan, the
army conscript who was held hostage in Azerbaijan after accidentally
crossing into the country, is the absence of a state dialogue between
the two countries, according to the defense minister.
"We are making great efforts today to return him to Armenia; as to
what situation we'll face, we'll see that in the course of time,"
Seyran Ohanyan told a news conference on Wednesday.
The minister reiterated the earlier assurances that the serviceman
will not face a prosecution upon being returned to Armenia. "To date,
we have no idea about pressures he is facing, but we know roughly
what kind of pressures the Azerbaijani side can exert," he added.
