A group of French intellectuals has issued a statement on Monday, calling on their government to urge Azerbaijan to return Armenian PoWs and other detainees kept in Azerbaijani captivity. According to Armenpress reports, the French intellectuals  noted that official Baku is still refusing to implement one of the humanitarian points of the trilateral statement ending the war in Karabakh and  in this way is grossly violating its commitments. 

“Such a disrespectful attitude towards the signed document shatters the Armenian people’s hope to return to normal life in the land of their ancestors 100 years after the 1915 Genocide”, the source cited the statement, that also named this as a clear manifestation of hatred.

They reminded that Azerbaijan, whose armed forces have committed military crimes against Armenians during the recent war by killing and torturing both the Armenian soldiers and civilians, has the worst indicators in democracy, human rights and freedoms in the world as confirmed by international human rights organizations such as Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders.
