ArmInfo. Armenian human rights defender Arman Tatoyan at a meeting with French member of the European Parliament Francois-Xavier Bellamy raised questions about the immediate release and return of Armenian prisoners of war and civilians illegally held in Azerbaijan.
As the press service of the Ombudsman's office told ArmInfo, Tatoyan noted that the Azerbaijani authorities artificially delay and politicize the process, seeking, among other things, to cause mental suffering to the families of the above-mentioned persons.
The defender spoke in detail about the serious problems with human rights caused by the unacceptably rapid processes associated with the definition of borders in the face of the obvious threat of war from Azerbaijan against the population of Armenia and Artsakh.
At the same time, Tatoyan highly appreciated the fruitful cooperation with the French Ambassador to Armenia Jonathan Lacote and the diplomatic mission headed by him. The parties agreed to deepen cooperation in the field of human rights protection.
