Azerbaijan has been illegally holding Armenian prisoner of war Vigen Euljekian captive for more than two years, U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone wrote on his Twitter microblog.

Aliyev's regime, according to the congressman, subjected the prisoner to inhuman treatment and various human rights violations.

Pallone called on the U.S. State Department and the UN Human Rights Council to take action to protect his life and the lives of all Armenian prisoners of war.
