pressure upon Azerbaijan on Mamikon Khojoyan's case
14:11, 8 March, 2014
YEREVAN, MARCH 8, ARMENPRESS. The International Patriotic Union of
Tavush has sent an open letter to the heads of the Armenian
representations of a number of international organizations, including
the UN, OSCE, and International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), on
the violence committed against the 77-year old resident of Upper
Karmiraghbyur village of Armenia's Tavush Province Mamikon Khojoyan in
Azerbaijan.
As reports "Armenpress" in particular the letter runs as follows:
"Dear representatives of respected international organizations,
We all encountered another case of violence by Azerbaijan, which is
very characteristic for them. We ask and urge You to introduce the
issue to the whole world and put pressure upon the Azerbaijani
authorities by condemning the inhumane attitude towards a peaceful
civilian, which contradicts the Fourth Geneva Convention."
Previously it was reported that Mamikon Khojoyan, a citizen of
Armenia, resident of Verin Karmiraghbyur village of Tavush province,
who
had been interned in Baku, Azerbaijan, returned to Armenia under the
auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on
March 4. 77-year-old Mamikon Khojoyan was delivered to the care of the
authorities by Azerbaijan with bodily traces of violence.
The Department of Mass Media and Public Relations of the Ministry of
Defense of the Republic of Armenia informed Armenpress that after
returning to Armenia Mamikon Khojoyan was moved to Ijevan Medical
Center. After the examination multiple bruises, fractures and
injuries were found on his body. Previously broadcasted videos and
messages by the Azerbaijani media did not mention about these
injuries, which gives evidence that Mamikon Khojoyan got injuries at
the period of his captivity in the Azerbaijani side.
