Armenia denies Azerbaijan’s lie, declaring that there are no Azerbaijani POWs in Armenia

Armenia denies Azerbaijan’s lie, declaring that there are no Azerbaijani POWs in Armenia

YEREVAN, 24 JANUARY, ARMENPRESS. There are no Azerbaijani captives in the territory of the Republic of Armenia. In an interview with “Armenpress”, head of the working group adjunct to the State Commission on Prisoners of War (POW), Hostages and the Missing Persons Armen Kaprielyan denied the statistics presented by his Azerbaijani counterpart Firudin Sadigov, according to which Armenia keeps 31 prisoners of war who are citizens of Azerbaijan. 

“Azerbaijan always changes the figures whenever it makes a statement or presents statistics. In 2009, Azerbaijan declared that there are 5,000 Azerbaijani POWs in Armenia. Later, it realized that that’s absurd and started reducing the number. A couple of months ago, the country declared that there are more than 40 POWs in Armenia, and now it says there are 31 POWs. Frankly, this is already ridiculous. Even Azerbaijan doesn’t understand what it’s doing. Every civil rights defender and non-governmental organization presents statistics based on some document and always changes the figures. I officially announce once again that there are no Azerbaijani prisoners of war in Armenia,” Kaprielyan said.
