INTERNATIONAL GROUP FOR SEARCH OF WAR PRISONERS CRITICIZES AZERBAIJAN'S NONCONSTRUCTIVE POSITION

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani State Commission for the issues of war prisoners, hostages and missing people is rather busy with propaganda activity than with the real search, as reported by Mediamax agency, co-chairs of the International Working Group (IWG) for the search of war prisoners, hostages and missing people at the territory of the Karabakh conflict Bernhard Clazen and Svetlana Gannushkina stated today in Stepanakert during the meeting with NKR foreign minister Ashot Gulian. They underscored the inadmissibility of politicizing humanitarian problems. In his turn Ashot Gulian noted that such a position of Azerbaijan as well as the accusations addressed to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh create the atmosphere of distrust, thus impeding the search works. The minister expressed the opinion that IWG's distinct stand on this issue could help to improve the situation.
