"ICRC NOT INTERESTED IN ARMENIAN CAPTIVES IN AZERBAIJAN" (VIDEO)
14:37 | February 23,2015 | Politics
At least 1000 Armenians are reported to have been missing since the
beginning of the Karabakh liberation war. Ninety-four of them went
missing during the years of the war.
The State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons
is trying to find information on these people. However, Azerbaijan
does not agree to return captives.
"We are unable to come to terms with Azerbaijan," says Rima Arakelyan,
a member of the Commission. She says Azerbaijan categorically denies
holding Armenians in captivity.
"We have been crying for 23 years," says Samara Grigoryan, the mother
of Vrej Grigoryan who went missing 23 years ago. The mother believes
that her son will return one day.
Alvard Sahakyan, the wife of missing Karabakh war veteran Rudik
Gevorgyan, says the government does not provide them any information
for security purposes.
The members of the Commission say unanimously that the International
Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) only intervenes in extreme cases.
Nor is the ICRC interested in what conditions Armenian captives are
held in Azerbaijan.
