The case of Armenian captives Mamikon Khojoyan and Arsen Khojoyan
is different from that of POW Hakob Injighulyan because Injighulyan
was wearing a military uniform when he crossed into Azerbaijan,
while Mamikon Khojoyan and Arsen Khojoyan were civilians, first
Ombudsperson of Armenia, chairwoman of Against Legal Arbitrariness
NGO Larisa Alaverdyan told reporters in Yerevan.
According to her, Injighulyan's transfer to a third country is very
important because only this will guarantee his return to Armenia.
Holding captive Armenian soldiers is beneficial to Azerbaijan as
this country can politicize the issue of captives and cast a shadow
on the Armenian army, Alaverdyan said.
"Over the past 20 years, no Armenian prisoner of war held in Azerbaijan
was brought to trial upon his return to Armenia, while Azerbaijan
puts Azeri captives on trial and even executes them," she added.
