03 November 2008 [17:54] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijani serviceman Rafik Hasanov, captured by Armenians, is subjected to torture, said spokesman for Azerbaijani Defense Minister Eldar Sabiroghlu.
"I am sure that under the pressure of tortures Rafig Hasanov wrote a letter to his parents, which says that he does not want to return home. Hasanov's parents said that their son can neither read nor write. The letter contains only his signature", noted Sabiroghlu.

Speaking of whether Hasanov is under threat of being transferred to a third country, Sabiroghlu said they do not want Rafig Hasanov to have Samir Mamedov's fate.

Soldier of N military unit of Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry Hasanov Rafig Rahman oghlu (born in 1989) was captured by Armenians on October 8 of this year on the contact line in the Gazakh direction.

It should be reminded that Azerbaijani army soldier Samir Mamedov was transferred to a third country after being captured by Armenians on December 24 of 2006.
