Eleven Armenians remaining in Artsakh held prison-like by Azerbaijani  authorities in recent months - opposition MP

ArmInfo.  Eleven Armenians remaining in Artsakh have been held prison-like by Azerbaijani authorities in recent months, without the right to travel. This was reported by Tigran Abrahamyan, a member of the Armenian parliament  from the opposition "I Have the Honor" faction.

"It turns out that for the last four months, those remaining in  Artsakh were held in prison conditions at the Dghiak complex. They  were forbidden from moving at all, meaning they were held captive for  the last few months. And during the deportation, they weren't even  told where they were being taken. They were brought to the Hakari  Bridge, forced to sign documents, and handed over to the Armenian  side," the MP wrote on her Facebook page.

At the same time, the oppositionist stated that no matter how anyone  tried to interpret this differently, the fact remains: this was the  final chord of ethnic cleansing. He also called ridiculous the claims  that the last Armenians remaining in occupied Artsakh had appealed to  the Armenian and Azerbaijani authorities to relocate them to the  Republic of Armenia. "Okay, you want peace, you're doing everything  right, but you can't help the Turks falsify history: you can't: you  can't:," Abrahamyan concluded.

It's worth noting that late last week, the RA Ministry of Labor and  Social Affairs announced the relocation of the last 11 Armenians from  occupied Artsakh to Armenia. Moreover, in its announcement, the  Armenian ministry exclusively used Azerbaijani narratives. It's also  noteworthy that the whereabouts and condition of these individuals  remains unknown. Rumors suggest that Azerbaijanis have severely  abused them in recent months. One Armenian reportedly had his hand  amputated and is currently being treated at a medical center in  Goris, while the remaining ten are in a nursing home in Aghveran.
