The return of the prisoners is a matter of hours or days, which will take place on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. Khandanyan

I will avoid naming any names. First of all, I am not familiar with the details, besides, it is a very sensitive topic, and until the captives cross the RA state border, I would also advise the media not to circulate names, because you understand how difficult this can be for the relatives of the captives.

Sargis Khandanyan, chairman of the NA Foreign Relations Committee, said this today, December 8, in a conversation with journalists in the National Assembly, referring to the question whether the names of 32 captives that are being circulated correspond to reality, and whether there are discussions at the highest level of Nagorno-Karabakh. about returning officials to RA.

"Until the captives cross the Armenian border, I think Armenia cannot say anything definite. The return of the prisoners should take place in the near future, it is a matter of hours or days," he said and added that the exchange of prisoners will take place on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Khandanyan confirmed that the Azerbaijani soldier who killed the custodian of the Zangezur copper-molybdenum combine and was sentenced to life in Armenia was handed over to the Azerbaijani side as part of the exchange of prisoners.

As for the question of returning all the prisoners, the deputy stated. "This was part of the process, there is a certain result related to this process, and the RA government will continue to work both diplomatically and through legal diplomacy, so that all prisoners and other detained persons who are in Azerbaijan will return as a result of a similar process. ".

Let's remind: with the joint statement of Armenia and Azerbaijan, artificial Azerbaijan releases 32 Armenian servicemen. In turn, the Republic of Armenia, guided by humanitarian values and as a manifestation of goodwill, releases 2 Azerbaijani servicemen.
