Ombudsperson provides information to international organizations on two Armenian servicemen kidnapped by Azerbaijan

YEREVAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS. Human Rights Defender of Armenia Anahit Manasyan has provided information regarding the two Armenian servicemen kidnapped from the territory of Armenia by Azerbaijan to international organizations.

The subject is constantly raised in contacts with all international partners.

“In this case we are dealing with persons who clearly have a status of captives in terms of international humanitarian law, and they must be covered with the guarantees, which, basically it would be disputed to say whether or not they are factually covered now . Definitely, steps must be taken,” she said when asked on the sham trials of the soldiers in Azerbaijan.

The two servicemen of the Armed Forces of Armenia were kidnapped by an Azerbaijani sabotage team on May 26 in the sovereign territory of Armenia.
