The International Union of Compatriots of Tavush province, Armenia,
has sent an open letter to the heads of the UN Office, OSCE Office in
Yerevan and ICRC Armenian delegation in connection with the recent
incidents when Armenian citizens, residents of Verin Karmiraghbyur
village, were taken captive by Azerbaijan.
The letter reminds that 77-year-old resident of Verin Karmiraghbyur
village Mamikon Khojoyan, who suffers from a mental disorder, was
tortured while being held captive in Azerbaijan and was released with
injuries.
"We ask and demand that you present the problem to the world through
your channels and put pressure on the Azeri authorities, condemning
the inhuman treatment of a peaceful civilian, which contradicts the
4th Geneva Convention. It is necessary to take urgent actions as there
is a fresh case of border violation - resident of Tavush province
Arsen Khojoyan is in Azerbaijan. At the same time, we ask you to
present the results of your work to the public as this is also in your
interests," the letter said.
