ArmInfo. Armenia appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) with a demand to ensure the basic rights of the Armenian soldier who was captured by Azerbaijan today.
As reported by the RA Ministry of Defense, on June 8, a serviceman-contractor of the N-th military unit of the RA Armed Forces, private A. Katanyan, disoriented because of the fog, appeared in an area controlled by the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan.
"Applications to the ECHR were submitted with the aim of ensuring the rights to life and protection from torture of an Armenian serviceman guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights," the statement says. It should be reminded that earlier the Azerbaijani Armed Forces reported about the capture of an Armenian soldier in the direction of Berdzor (Lachin). Azerbaijan as usual called Armenian serviceman a saboteur.
