During the second Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war, which started on September 27, 2020, as well as after the signing of the November 9, 2020 trilateral statement, Armenian civilians and servicemen continued to be captured.
Nineteen of the captives were tortured and killed by Azerbaijani servicemen, which is considered a war crime.
We have applied to the European Court of Human Rights regarding the facts of torture and killing of prisoners of war (POWs) and detainees, said Artak Zeynalyan, the representative of prisoners of war and captives at the ECHR.
