    Ombudsman appeals to ICRC head for release of captured Azerbaijanis

    [ 10 Aug 2007 14:53 ]

    Azerbaijan's Ombudsman Elmira Suleymanova has written to President of
    the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) President Jacob
    Kellenberger to help release Azerbaijani Army soldier Samir Mammadov,
    civilians Ashraf Jafarov and Anar Aliyev who have been captured by
    Armenian Armed Forces and with regard to other nuances.

    The Ombudsman's Office told APA the Ombudsman's letter to the ICRC
    President covers the results of the analyses by Ombudsman regarding
    the imprecise Armenian media reports which say as if captured Samir
    Mammadov refuses his parents, family, his being brought up in
    children's home. Ms. Sulemanova has got necessary documents after
    having contacted related state structures and the captured soldier's
    family.
    The Ombudsman's appeal stresses that Armenian media reports on Samir
    Mammadov have negative psychological impact on him and his family and
    on the other hand, mislead the country and the international
    community.
    Ms.Suleymanova asks the ICRC President to held in soonest release of
    Azerbaijani Army soldier Samir Mammadov, civilians Ashraf Jafarov and
    Anar Aliyev, and through regional offices focus on avoiding any
    inhuman treatment of the captured persons.
    The issue will be discussed with the ICRC representatives during the
    Ombudsman's Office sector director Zaur Aliyev's visit to Geneva
    soon. /APA/
