Azerbaijan does not return Armenian captives for different political reasons – Armenian Ombudsman

The humanitarian issues of not returning the captives and the search of missing fit in the context of Azerbaijan’s hatred and hostility policy, Armenia’s Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan told the reporters today.

Tatoyan noted that Azerbaijan told so many lies about captives that it has confused in its own lies.

The ombudsman stressed the importance of international pressures.

“Azerbaijan does not return the captives openly using it for different political purposes. For instance, there were media publications that they are using the issue of captives regarding some territorial issues. It is a deed close to war crime. We must present it to the international structures in a right way,” Tatoyan said.

He added that Azerbaijan is trying to keep the legal instances on distance and work only in political platform.
