“There has been news spreading in the media that we have individuals who were held in captivity where they returned to military service after 54 days in captivity when they were returned to Armenia. As a colonel, how safe is that?” deputy Taguhi Tovmasyan asked Colonel Boris Avagyan during a working discussion on the prisoners of war in parliament.
The deputies who had left My Step initiated a new working group regarding the prisoners of war.
Avagyan responded that he is not aware of such information, and it is necessary to check that out. Taguhi Tovmasyan said that the information has been confirmed, and there are three soldiers who were conscripted again. This surprised the colonel. “Their psychological state needed to have been checked. They needed to have gone through a recovery period. Rehabilitation takes between 180 and 360 days according to all international standards. And if they are serving once again, that is very bad. It is not acceptable.”
