Armenia has carried out extensive work regarding the issue of Armenian prisoners held in Azerbaijan, said Karen Andreasyan, Armenia\u2019s Representative for International Legal Affairs, speaking to reporters at the National Assembly on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven before my appointment, my predecessors and colleagues had already done an exceptional amount of work\u2014submitting all necessary complaints and petitions to international bodies,\u201d Andreasyan stated. \u201cThe efforts were of such high quality that there was little left for me to add. At this stage, we simply need to await the next steps in the process, such as the decisions of international judicial bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andreasyan made these remarks in response to a question about numerous reports of torture of Armenian prisoners of war held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and what actions were being taken in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe must also wait for further developments in the peace process and for the results of the significant diplomatic work currently being carried out by several of our institutions\u2014the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, various specialized agencies, and others,\u201d he said. \u201cI prefer not to comment further on this matter, as the ongoing negotiations fall within their competence. My role is to ensure that our international legal disputes\u2014through which we have raised the painful issues of prisoners and the missing\u2014ultimately receive a proper judicial resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
