    Residents of Armenia's Tavush urge international organizations to put
    pressure upon Azerbaijan on Mamikon Khojoyan's case

    14:11, 8 March, 2014


    YEREVAN, MARCH 8, ARMENPRESS. The International Patriotic Union of
    Tavush has sent an open letter to the heads of the Armenian
    representations of a number of international organizations, including
    the UN, OSCE, and International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), on
    the violence committed against the 77-year old resident of Upper
    Karmiraghbyur village of Armenia's Tavush Province Mamikon Khojoyan in
    Azerbaijan.

    As reports "Armenpress" in particular the letter runs as follows:

    "Dear representatives of respected international organizations,
    We all encountered another case of violence by Azerbaijan, which is
    very characteristic for them. We ask and urge You to introduce the
    issue to the whole world and put pressure upon the Azerbaijani
    authorities by condemning the inhumane attitude towards a peaceful
    civilian, which contradicts the Fourth Geneva Convention."

    Previously it was reported that Mamikon Khojoyan, a citizen of
    Armenia, resident of Verin Karmiraghbyur village of Tavush province,
    who
    had been interned in Baku, Azerbaijan, returned to Armenia under the
    auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on
    March 4. 77-year-old Mamikon Khojoyan was delivered to the care of the
    authorities by Azerbaijan with bodily traces of violence.

    The Department of Mass Media and Public Relations of the Ministry of
    Defense of the Republic of Armenia informed Armenpress that after
    returning to Armenia Mamikon Khojoyan was moved to Ijevan Medical
    Center. After the examination multiple bruises, fractures and
    injuries were found on his body. Previously broadcasted videos and
    messages by the Azerbaijani media did not mention about these
    injuries, which gives evidence that Mamikon Khojoyan got injuries at
    the period of his captivity in the Azerbaijani side.
