Armenian Foreign Minister presents to ICRC Head situation with fake trial of Armenians in Azerbaijan

YEREVAN, February25./ARKA/. On February 24, within the framework of the working visit to Geneva, Foreign Minister of Armenian Ararat Mirzoyan had a meeting with Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The issues of cooperation between Armenia and the ICRC were touched upon, the Foreign Ministry said.

Ararat Mirzoyan and Mirjana Spoljaric Egger discussed humanitarian issues. Minister Mirzoyan raised the issue of the release of Armenian prisoners of war and civilians illegally detained in Azerbaijan, the ongoing sham trials, expressing concern over the health condition of mentioned individuals and the possible pressure exerted on them.

The defendants, who face a long list of charges, include three former Karabakh presidents, Araik Harutyunyan, Bako Sahakyan and Arkady Ghukasyan, and Ruben Vardanyan, an Armenian billionaire who briefly served as Karabakh's prime minister. All were captured by Azerbaijan during or shortly after its military offensive in September 2023, which forced the entire population of Karabakh to flee to Armenia and restored Azerbaijan's control over the region.

Among other agenda items, the discussion touched upon the undertaken and necessary  additional efforts towards clarifying the fate of missing persons. Ararat Mirzoyan emphasized Armenia’s readiness and steps taken to address the issue, taking into account the sensitivity of the matter for the families of missing persons.

The Foreign Minister of Armenia noted that resolving humanitarian issues could be a significant factor in achieving a comprehensive settlement and establishing lasting peace.

During the meeting, Minister Mirzoyan presented the process of normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including work on the text of the peace treaty, emphasizing the importance of both sides demonstrating political will for its conclusion.

International and regional developments were also touched upon.-0-
