Human Rights Defender Presents Evidence of Azerbaijani Armed Forces' Torture of Armenians

Today, I presented to the heads of all diplomatic missions and international organizations represented in Armenia evidence of the torture and inhumane treatment of Armenian military personnel and civilians by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, supported by professionally developed evidence and analysis. This was stated by Armenia's Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan on his Facebook page.

"It is clear that the Azerbaijani authorities are artificially delaying this process, creating obstacles aimed at exacerbating tensions within the Armenian society and causing psychological suffering. I also noted that my colleague from Artsakh, Human Rights Defender Artak Beglaryan, shares the same conviction. Together with the Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs, we emphasized that the primary issue today is the return of our compatriots currently held in captivity and the exchange of the bodies of the deceased," he wrote.
