YEREVAN, 1 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. Press speaker of the President of Artsakh David Babayan views the video message of Armenian soldier Andranik Grigoryan, who crossed the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, as a  interrogation on video, torture on video. In an interview with “Armenpress”, Babayan stressed that Andranik Grigoryan was assaulted on the Azerbaijani side.

 “He was assaulted. It appears that he is in poor physical and psychological condition. This goes to show once again that we are dealing with an abnormal and fascist state that violates legal, moral, political and international norms and rights. We shouldn’t feel bitter when we hear the words that that person says in that poor condition. He is forced to say that. They are torturing him. It’s likely that they’re using chemical substances. It’s clear that he’s reading the text on a screen. There are even places where his words have been cut off. The editing is very bad,” said David Babayan, adding that the international community must draw serious conclusions from this.
