Armenia's Defense Ministry has confirmed the rumors that they have
received facts proving that Hakob Injighulyan suffered from violence
in Azeri captivity, the Ministry's Spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan
says in Facebook.
He says that there is a video showing that Injighulyan was tortured
and forced to tell lies. This video also shows who the Azeris who
"came just to see the graves of their relatives" actually are.
"The video is not subject to publication as we cannot disseminate
information that can hurt a person's feelings. But we are ready to give
it to human rights organizations and embassies," Hovhannisyan said.
Nagorno-Karabakh serviceman Hakob Injighulyan got lost and was captured
by Azeris in Aug 2013. So as to be able to come back to Armenia,
he alleged that he preferred to go to a third country as he might be
killed if he went back to Armenia. He was sent back on Oct 2 2014. On
the first days of his captivity Injighulyan was forced to say that he
did not wish to go back to Armenia as the conditions in the Armenian
army were awful. Later he confessed that he said that at gunpoint.
