The representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross were also invited for a forensic-medical examination of the dead body of the Armenian prisoner of war who committed suicide in Azerbaijan, military prosecutor of Azerbaijan Khanlar Veliyev told Trend.

"As soon as the Military Prosecutor's Office received information about the suicide of prisoner of war, the ICRC Baku office was informed about the incident, and representatives of the organization have been invited to a forensic-medical examination of the dead body," said the military prosecutor.

Manvel Mamikonovich Sarybekyan, a member of the Armenian sabotage group, has committed suicide Tuesday at 3:00 am. The leadership of Armenia and the Armenian press blamed the Azerbaijani side for Sarybekyan's death

Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian said that the prisoner was allegedly killed, Armenian Novosti-Armenia news agency reported. Azerbaijan's military prosecutor has called the accusations groundless.
"If we had something to hide, we would not invite the ICRC to examination. They asked for an official death certificate of the prisoner of war, and we have provided it," said Veliyev.
According to the military prosecutor, Sarybekyan hanged himself in a detention center.
The prosecutor said no signs of violence have been revealed on the dead body of the prisoner. Currently, the fact is under investigation.

On Sept. 11 this year at about 17:00 in the north-west front, another attempt of the Armenian military to sabotage was prevented. One of the saboteurs - Manvel Sarybekyan - was detained, three of them could escape.

During interrogation, Sarybekyan admitted involvement in an attempt to sabotage on the territory of Azerbaijan by Armenian secret services.
