CE Commissioner for Human Rights for return oi Artsakh residents to their homes

ArmInfo.The situation regarding Armenian prisoners of war held in Azerbaijan is a priority for Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Michael  O'Flaherty, who is closely monitoring both the conditions in which  they are being held in Baku and the trials they are facing,  Armenpress reports. 

"I am in discussions with the Azerbaijani government to visit Baku.  It takes time for both them and me," O'Flaherty said during the  plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of  Europe (PACE), in response to a question by Armen Gevorgyan, a member  of the Armenian delegation to PACE, regarding the situation of  Armenian prisoners of war held in Baku.

He stressed that he had already submitted two requests to the  Azerbaijani authorities to visit the country. "I will apply a third,  even a fourth time. I definitely want to go there and engage with the  human rights issues in that country," he emphasized.
