Tatoyan: Azerbaijan caused intentional mental sufferings to the wives, mothers and sisters of Armenian soldiers

Azerbaijan caused intentional mental sufferings to the
mothers, sisters and other family members of Armenian soldiers by sending the
photos of tortured military servicemen to their families through social media
accounts. Former Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) of Armenia Arman Tatoyan
wrote this. 

“During the Azerbaijani-provoked 2020 44-day and 2022
September 13-14 wars against Armenia and Artsakh, the Azerbaijani armed forces
committed numerous war crimes, including torture of prisoners of war and civilians,
extrajudicial killings. The basis of these criminal acts of Azerbaijan is the
continuing fascist policy of Armenophobia and animosity of the authorities of
this country.

On Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and other social networks,
Azerbaijani user accounts, targeting the Armenian audience, disseminated and
sent the photos of the killed and tortured military servicemen directly to
their families.

Studies confirm that the mentioned crimes are encouraged by
the authorities of Azerbaijan. They aim to cause severe mental sufferings to
families and maintain tension in Armenian society,” Tatoyan noted.
