    ARMENIA'S DEFENSE MINISTRY ACCUSES AZERBAIJAN OF GROSS VIOLATION OF GENEVA CONVENTIONS

    ArmInfo. The official structures of Azerbaijan exert special
    psychological and moral pressure on the Armenian POWs, as well as
    subject them to bodily suffering and violence, as a result of which
    the latters have to make fabricated statements. We are aware of this
    from the reliable sources, spokesman of Armenia's DM, Colonel Seyran
    Shahsuvaryan told ArmInfo.

    The Armenian POWs are deprived of correspondence, as well as an
    opportunity to meet their relatives, that is a gross violation of the
    international law, in particular, the 3rd and 4th Geneva Convention.

    This happens against the background of complete provision of
    the Azerbaijani POWs by the Armenian party with the right for
    communication with the relatives, receipt of medical aid, as well as
    freedom of speech.

    The Defense Ministry of Armenia claims once more of its adherence to
    the international standards and urges UN and International Red Cross
    Committee to pay attention to the gross flouting of the Armenian
    POWs' rights, as well as use of the POWs by Azerbaijan as a means
    of internal and external propaganda. In view of this, the Defense
    Ministry of Armenia demands to stop this inhuman activity carried
    out by Azerbaijan at a state level.
