Yerevan /Mediamax/. At a government session today, Acting Prime of Armenia Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that Azerbaijan’s continuous failure to fulfill its obligation to return captives, POWs and other detainees is becoming an issue of the international agenda.

“Yesterday, the European Union issued a very important statement, in which it specifically addresses a message to Azerbaijan that it must return all detainees regardless of the circumstances of their capture. I consider it important that this statement refers to the processes taking place in the European Court of Human Rights, which adds a legal element to the political statement.

Recent intensification of international efforts related to the issue of our detainees is important. It increases the positive outlook that we will have concrete results in the matter,” said Nikol Pashinyan.
