AZERBAIJAN DENIES EXISTENCE OF ARMENIAN PRISONERS OF WAR
Azerbaijani State Committee for War Prisoners and Missing commented to a Caucasian Knot reporter on the appeal of a group of Karabakh Armenians to the OSCE Minsk Group about Armenian war-prisoners, who are used as slaves in Azerbaijan. "There is not a single Armenian war-prisoner in Azerbaijan at present. They all were passed to the Armenian side. Azerbaijan is ready to offer the opportunity to check the presence of war-prisoners in the country", the Committee members stated.
