NO NEWS SINCE ICRC SEPT 2 MEETING WITH ARMENIAN CAPTIVE
September 18, 2013 - 17:02 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Absence of governmental ties with Azerbaijan is
the main hindrance on the way to returning Armenian captive Hakob
Injighulyan, with the process mediated by international organizations
Defense Minister said.
"We're taking our best efforts for Injighulyan to return to Armenia,"
Seyran Ohanyan said, noting that the solder won't be legally
persecuted. "We can only imagine the pressure he might have been
subjected to on Azeri side," Tert.am quoted Ohanyan as saying.
As the representative of the ICRC in Yerevan Ashot Astambatsyan told
PanARMENIAN.Net no fresh reports on the Armenian captive have been
provided, with the news to be released as soon as something transpires.
September 2 was the last time when the Representatives of the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) met with the Armenian
captive.
As the head of the ICRC Baku office Denise Duran stated earlier, the
Committee continued the captive-related negotiations with Azerbaijani
authorities.
On the night of Aug 8, Injighulyan, born in 1991, failed to find his
bearings on the ground and crossed into the Azeri-controlled territory.
Azeri media have been spreading information suggesting the captive
is unwilling to return to Armenia.
However, Injighulyan never mentioned his unwillingness to return
to Armenia in a meeting with ICRC representatives, with Azerbaijani
Prisoners of War Commission Secretary noting he sees no problem with
the captive's return.
Armenia has repeatedly slammed the "interviews" with Injighulyan as
forced by Baku and urged the ICRC to take every effort to help the
captive's return, with no persecution to be initiated against him in
the absence of crime in the act.
