RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan addressed letters Oct. 20 to Ombudsman of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Mr. Yuri Hayrapetyan and Ombudsman of Azerbaijan Mrs. Elmira Suleimanova. He appealed to them for help in the handover of dead bodies.

The letters particularly read:

“Appeal to my counterparts:

“Dear counterparts, “Since human rights and humanism must be superior to all the other views, I think it would be right is the Azerbaijani and Nagorno-Karabakh authorities showed tolerance and took necessary measures to arrange a handover of the dead bodies of an Armenian and Azerbaijanis.

“I appeal to NKR Ombudsman Yuri Hayrapetyan for cooperation with the NKR authorities in handing over the dead bodies of the Azerbaijanis Farid Ahmedov and Mubariz Ibrahimov.

“I also appeal to the Azerbaijani Ombudsman, Mrs. Elmira Suleimanova to show humanism and demand that the relevant authorities allow international experts to study the circumstances of the Armenian citizen’s capture and death. I call for measures to hand over Manvel Saribekyan’s body to the Armenian side.

“As Armenian Ombudsman, I am ready, within my terms of reference, to assist the proper implementation of the processes.”
