The European Court [of Human Rights (ECHR)] (…) has granted our petitions (…) in the case of the protection of the rights of [10] servicemen captured and [3] civilians detained during the large-scale war waged by Azerbaijan against Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)], and using urgent measure. Lawyers Siranush Sahakyan and Artak Zeynalyan have noted this in a statement, also, publicizing the names of these Armenians.

"The European Court has requested from the Azerbaijani government documented information on the fact of their being taken captive, their whereabouts, conditions of detention, and medical service. The court has set a deadline until 30.11.2020 and 04.12.2020, respectively, to provide the required information," the aforesaid lawyers added.

On November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities—which Azerbaijan had launched on September 27—in and around Artsakh.
