Today Arzu Abdullayeva, chairmen of the Azerbaijan National Committee
at the Helsinki Civil Assembly, gave a press conference on the visit
to the Nagorno Karabakh July 28-30.

According to APA, Arzu Abdullayeva said that the visit was realized
within Parliament Assembly of European Council: "Project on war
prisoners and hostages was implemented at the initiative of HCA. Our
principal aim of the visit to Nagorno Karabakh was to monitor the
occupied lands."

A. Abdullayeva added that they could monitor Shusha prison only: "We
were delayed for half an hour at the fourth floor of the Shusha
prison where Azerbaijani war prisoners were collectively held. We saw
the wall writings by Azerbaijani prisoners in the jail in unbearable
condition. We were not allowed to go to Meden in Kelbajar and to use
cameras."

Abdullayeva also said that they met with Arkadi Gukasyan, leader of
the separatist regime, and family members of the alleged Armenian
missing and war prisoners.
