Armenian ombudsman: 84-year-old civilian held in Azerbaijani captivity dies
An 84-year-old Armenian civilian held captive in Azerbaijan has died, Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) Arman Tatoyan said on Friday.
“I have just learned that 84-year-old Misha Melkumyan, a civilian captured by the Azerbaijani forces, died last night,” he wrote on Facebook.
“Taking into account all the evidence and facts on inhuman treatment and cruelty of Armenians captured by Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the reasonable assumption on the reason of our compatriot’s death becomes clear.
“My condolences to Misha Melkumyan’s all relatives,” Tatoyan said.
