"The authorities of Azerbaijan and Karabakh had better demonstrate tolerance and arrange the return of bodies of Armenians and Azerbaijanis," Armenian Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan said on October 20
Mr. Harutyunyan has addressed messages to the human rights defenders of the two countries requesting them to assist the process.
"I also urge the sides to take measures to return the body of Manvel Saribekyan to Armenia. As a human rights defender, I am ready to contribute to the return of bodies," said Mr. Harutyunyan.
Manvel Saribekyan, an Armenian shepherd, crossed the Azerbaijani border in search of his cattle. He was taken captive on September 11 and announced a subversive. After a few months of captivity in Azerbaijan, Saribekyan was found hung in an Azeri prison.
