International structures should assess appropriately Armenian captive’s killing in BakuOctober 5, 2010 - 20:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - “We condemn the killing of Armenian captive Manvel Saribekyan in Azerbaijan. The fact that the Armenian captive was kept in subhuman conditions in Baku clearly indicates that Azerbaijan violates all international norms,” member of the Republican Party of Armenian parliamentary group Gagik Melikyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “Azerbaijanis kill even captives,” said Melikyan, adding that it is a continuation of subversive actions of Azerbaijan. “All international structures should assess appropriately the incident,” said Melikyan. The Defense Ministry and Military Prosecutor’s Office of Azerbaijan have issued a statement on “suicide” of Armenian captive Manvel Saribekyan. According to employees of the Military Prosecutor’s Office, Saribekyan “hung himself” on the night of October 5, making a slipknot of his shirt and bedsheet. Manvel Saribekyan, a shepherd, was taken captive on September 11 and announced a “subversive.” Several days after Saribekyan was taken prisoner, an “interview” with him was posted on the web.
