ECHR demands information from Baku on two Armenian servicemen  kidnapped by Azeri troops

ArmInfo.The European Court of Human Rights, in response to Armenia's appeal, requested Azerbaijan to  provide information by June 6 whether the two Armenian servicemen kidnapped by Azeri troops are in Azeri custody as captives or any other status.  According to the Office of the Representative of Armenia for International Legal Affairs, in case of a positive answer from Azerbaijan, the court demanded to provide information about  their health and detention conditions.

It should be reminded that on May 26, at 7:00pm, communication with  two servicemen of the RA Armed Forces (Harutyun Hovakimyan and Karen  Ghazaryan), who were supplying food to combat positions was  interrupted.

Already on May 27, Azerbaijan managed to accuse the Armenian  servicemen who disappeared the day before of terrorism, smuggling  carried out by a group of persons by prior agreement, inciting  national, racial, social or religious hatred and enmity, illegal  transportation of weapons and illegal crossing of the state border.   On May 28, in connection with the kidnapping of two Armenian  servicemen who were delivering food to combat positions, Armenia  applied to the European Court of Human Rights demanding the  application of interim measures.
