IC: There are 17 Armenian prisoners of war on the Azerbaijani side

ArmInfo.There are 17 Armenian prisoners of war on the Azerbaijani side. Rafael Vardanyan, the head of the criminal-legal department of the IC, stated this during a press conference.

He noted that the data concerning two more civilians are also being  checked. "The Armenian side actively cooperates on these issues with  the European Court of Human Rights. Armenia has submitted  applications for measures to ensure the life and health of war  prisoners. As you know, some applications have already been  satisfied, others are being considered," Vardanyan stressed. He noted  that there are two Azerbaijani prisoners of war in the Armenian side.

"The prisoners of war were interrogated. One of them said during the  interrogation that he would hardly have been well cared for in  Azerbaijan. The prisoners of war are kept in conditions in compliance  with all the norms of international law. They were provided with  medical assistance and also are provided sufficient food three times  a day," Vardanyan emphasized.
