Elderly Armenian Man Detained by Azerbaijani Forces Passes Away

Reports have confirmed that 84-year-old Misha Melkumyan, a civilian captured by Azerbaijani armed forces, has passed away this night.

Considering all the evidence and documentation regarding the inhumane treatment and brutality inflicted upon Armenian captives by Azerbaijani forces, it becomes apparent that there are valid grounds for the assumption regarding the potential causes of our compatriot's death.

I extend my condolences to all of Misha Melkumyan's relatives.

This was stated by the Human Rights Defender of Armenia, Arman Tatoyan, on his Facebook page.
