We Strongly Condemn Decision Of Armenian Court On Arrest Of Azerbaijani Soldiers - MFA
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 8. Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Azerbaijan strongly condemns the staged "trial" in
Armenia against Azerbaijani army soldiers Agshin Babirov and Huseyn
Akhundov, and the so-called "decision" to arrest Babirov, trend reports.
Armenia, by subjecting Azerbaijani soldiers to cruel physical
torture, also subjects them to moral and psychological torture
through such a "judicial process".
"By its irresponsible behavior, Armenia once again demonstrates
a disregard for the legal responsibility it bears in accordance
with international humanitarian law, the calls of the international
community for the release of hostages, and the principles of
humanism.
The fact that the Armenian side, having taken such actions, did
not show a mutual attitude in connection with the
confidence-building measures taken by our country without any
preconditions for the return of Armenians, in particular more than
10 Armenian servicemen who got lost and crossed the border,
indicates that Armenia is not interested in measures to establish
peace and trust in the region. The responsibility for undermining
efforts to build trust with such an approach lies entirely with the
Armenian side.
Armenia must put an end to this subversive activity, accompanied
by gross violations of international humanitarian law, and
immediately release the hostages.
We call on the international community, relevant international
organizations, and non-governmental organizations to exert serious
influence and pressure on Armenia so that our soldiers who are
being held hostage will be released soon and reunited with their
families," the ministry said in the statement.
