Yerevan hopes for a positive response from EP on the resolution on Armenian prisoners in Baku

ArmInfo. The resolution of the  European Parliament, which will be discussed at the plenary session  today, is actually a response to a message of the former State  Minister of Artsakh and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan. Mane  Tandilyan, Co-chair of the "Country to Live" party, posted this on  her Facebook page.

Expressing gratitude to the authors of the document, the politician  noted that the resolution addresses the inhuman and degrading  treatment of Armenian prisoners of war, the psychological pressure  exerted on them and the lack of independent legal presence. "Among  other demands of the document is the immediate release of Armenian  prisoners. There are also demands for sanctions against Azerbaijani  officials. The resolution calls for the EU Special Representative for  Human Rights to meet with the detainees and urges EU ambassadors in  Baku to attend and observe the staged trial," Tandilyan noted.  She  added that in relation to this important resolution, letters have  been sent to all members of the European Parliament, urging them to  vote in favor of adopting the document.
