Глава МИД: Вопрос пленных - постоянно в нашей повестке

АрмИнфо.Вопрос пленных - это постоянная часть нашей повестки. Об этом в ходе правительственного часа 28 октября сказал министр иностранных дел и международной торговли Армении Арарат Мирзоян.

<Но не люблю об этом говорить, потому что это крайне чувствительный вопрос, где, либо есть результат, либо нету. Мы можем говорить об этом круглые сутки, но объективно, кто это оценит, кому нужны твои усилия , если результата нет>, - заметил он.

На вопрос, не обращалась ли армянская сторона к третьим странам с просьбой организовать миссию и посетить армянских пленных в Баку, Мирзоян заметил, что подобные попытки были, но они не обвенчались успехом. <Не хочу называть эти страны, так как нам с ними предстоит еще работать. Но им сказали не вмешиваться в эти вопросы. Если хотите горькую правду - вот она>, - сказал он, заметив, что у армянской стороны есть путь решения данного вопрос а, который проходит через диалог с Азербайджаном.

Отметим, что до сих пор не известно точное число армянских военнопленных и заложников, удерживаемых в азербайджанских тюрьмах. По оценкам экспертов их несколько сотен. Сегодня власти Азербайджана подтверждают наличие у себя 19 армян.  Среди удерживаемых в азербайджанском плену, в том числе 8 бывших и действующих представителей военно- политического руководства Арцаха. Это бывшие президенты Арцаха Аркадий Гукасян, Бако Саакян, Араик Арутюнян, бывший министр иностранных дел Давид Бабаян, а также спикер парламент Давид Ишханян, экс-командующий Армией обороны Арцаха, генерал Левон Мнацаканян, генерал Давид Манукян и экс- госминистр Рубен Варданян. Бакинский марионеточный суд по сфабрикованным обвинениям в феврале приговорил Араика Арутюняна, Давида Бабаяна, Давида Ишханяна, Давида Манукяна, Левона Мнацаканяна к пожизненным заключениям, а Бако Саакяна, Аркадия Гукасяна и Рубена Варданяна к 20 годам лишения свободы.  Остальных арцахцев так называемый суд приговорил до 15 лет свободы.
