ArmInfo. Relevant international organizations are well aware of
Samir Mamedov's position, the head of the Working Group of Armenian
State Commission on captives, hostages and missing Armen Kaprielyan
told ArmInfo correspondent when commenting on the statement of
the head of Azerbaijani Working Group Firuddin Sadikov. To recall,
Azerbaijani soldier Samir Mamedov willingly passed to the Armenian
party in December 2006 and does not want to return to his native
land. Sadikov said that pressure is placed upon Mamedov and other
Azerbaijani captives in Armenia.
Explaining the points of International Humanitarian Law to his
Azerbaijani counterpart, Armen Kaprielyan said that if a line-crosser
does not want to return to his native land, his wish should be taken
into consideration. He also added that they stopped being surprised
by such statements of Sadikov.
Touching on Sadikov's statement allegedly pressure is placed upon
Azerbaijani captives Kaprielyan said: 'Azerbaijani party is not the
party to speak about treatment of captives. For example, they were
telling a lie that Valeriy Suleimanyan, who was passed to the Karabakh
authorities, did not want to return to his native land. Suleymanyan
stayed at the Azerbaijani party since summer and all that time they
were telling lie. Another example, a 14 year old teenager was kept by
the Azerbaijani party for two months last year'. He also added that
sometimes statements of different Azerbaijani functionaries reach
such an incredible level of nonsense and he does not want to comment
on them.
