    Caucasus Muslims Office chair meets Armenian captive at Karekin II request

    November 2, 2013 - 16:06 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - The Chairman of the Caucasus Muslims Office
    Sheik-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazade met with Armenian captive Hakob
    Injighulyan at the request of the Catholicos of All Armenians His
    Holiness Karekin II.

    According to APA, following the November 1 meeting, Sheik-ul-Islam
    announced that the captive's detention conditions are satisfactory.
    `He's taken care of,' Pashazade said.

    In mid-October media was circulating reports suggesting the Armenian
    captive was to be moved to a third country from Azerbaijan. He
    information, however, hadn't been confirmed at the Yerevan Office of
    the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

    The report was published by an Armenian media source with a reference
    to Injighulyan's cousin Arman. The latter, however, refuted the
    information in a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net noting that Hakob
    never expressed intention to leave for a third country.
    `Representatives of the ICRC informed us about such an opportunity,'
    he said.

    On October 14, representatives of the International Committee of the
    Red Cross met with Injighulyan in Azerbaijan.

    As media contact person for the ICRC Delegation to Armenia, Zara
    Amatuni told PanARMENIAN.Net the ICRC members conveyed a letter from
    the family to the Armenian serviceman.

    No other details of the meeting were disclosed.

    On the night of August 8, Injighulyan, born in 1991, failed to find
    his bearings on the ground and crossed into the Azeri-controlled
    territory.

    Azeri media outlets have been since spreading information suggesting
    the captive is unwilling to return to Armenia.

    However, Injighulyan never mentioned his unwillingness to return to
    Armenia in a meeting with ICRC representatives, with Azerbaijani
    Prisoners of War Commission Secretary noting he sees no problem with
    the captive's return.

    Armenia has repeatedly slammed the `interviews' with Injighulyan as
    forced by Baku and urged the ICRC to take every effort to help the
    captive's return, with no persecution to be initiated against him in
    the absence of crime in the act.
