"I have repeatedly received information that citizens of Azerbaijan are held in captivity in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan - Nagorno Karabakh and subjected to the most cruel tortures", said chairman of the Azerbaijani Committee against Torture Elchin Behbudov commenting on the information spread by Esmira Orujeva, chairman of the Hasret Yolu public association to support hostages and captives that Armenia still holds captive the Azerbaijani children that were captured during military operations.

According to E. Behbudov, a special concentration camp was created in Nagorno Karabakh to torture Azerbaijanis. "In addition, in the basement of the prison of Shusha occupied by Armenians captive Azerbaijanis are held and subjected to inhumane tortures".

There is also information that prisoners are held in Azerbaijan kindergarten of Hankendi, which is also controlled by Armenian separatists. I have repeatedly informed various international organizations of this fact.

Moreover, I have repeatedly stated willingness and desire to carry out monitoring in the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to clarify this issue. But all my statements on this subject had not received a positive response. And this is just encouraging the fact that Azerbaijanis continue to be kept and tortured in the occupied lands", concluded Behbudov.
