Armenian ombudsman formally labels Azerbaijan’s execution of two POWs as ‘undeniable war crime’
Armenia's Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) Arman Tatoyan has formally labelled Azerbaijan's execution of two Armenian prisoners of war as an "undeniable war crime", his office reported.
"In these videos, members of the Azerbaijani army humiliate prisoners of war and then brutally kill them with extreme cynicism," he wrote on Facebook.
He said Armenia's representatives at the European Courts of Human Rights (ECHR) had already asked for copies of the videos. Tatoyan said he would share the clips with the UN human rights commissioner, the Council of Europe and other international organizations.
