Yerevan /Mediamax/. Foreign Minister of Armenia Ara Aivazian today has stated that Azerbaijan’s politicizing of the return of Armenian POWs is unacceptable, which has been affirmed by various representatives of the international community.

“Leaders of different countries, various international bodies are adding pressure on Azerbaijan. The Italian parliament yesterday adopted a resolution urging Azerbaijan to resolve this key humanitarian issue,” Aivazian said at the Armenian parliament, touching on the statement of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev regarding the return of Armenian POWs.

 

The Foreign Minister has also noted that Armenia is using multiple channels to return the prisoners.

 

“Russia plays an important role in the region, and there are direct contacts through Russian President Putin, Foreign Minister Lavrov and Defense Minister Shoigu in this matter. Russia consistently raises this issue with the leadership of Azerbaijan. The return of our POWs is number one priority in many phone conversations I have with my colleagues, and we are conducting efforts in various areas in the international organizations. It is evident from the responses we get that this issue is becoming controversial for Azerbaijan,” said Ara Aivazian.
