Former RA Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook page:
“We visited the Gegharkunik, Aragatsotn, and Armavir provinces – to families of killed and missing servicemen, including the killed female serviceman as a result of the Azerbaijani launched September 13-14, 2020 war; 2020 44-day wars.
We have been to Vardenis city of Gegharkunik province, villages Areguni, Pokr Masrik, Arpunk; Bazmaghbyur, Sasunik, Gitavan communities of Ashtarak region in Aragatsotn province, Etchmiadzin city of Armavir province; during visits we have discussed issues that families face, which got worsened as a result of the war.
Special attention is to be focused on the following fact: as a result of the war unleashed by Azerbaijan on September 13-14, 2022 there are bodies of the Armenia’s killed servicemen, which are in the parts of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, where the Azerbaijani armed forces invaded and which are under their control. It is not possible to take out the bodies of these servicemen due to the obstacles created by the Azerbaijani side. Naturally, this fact causes more pain and suffering to the families. The Azerbaijani authorities do this on purpose and it is part of their Armenophobia policy that they apply in all spheres.
