ArmInfo. On the morning of April 11, the relatives of prisoners of war from Shirak region, who have been illegally imprisoned in the prisons of Azerbaijan for the third year already, closed the Gyumri-Bavra interstate highway leading to the Georgian border.
The gathered demand the return of the prisoners of war who have been held hostage in Azerbaijan for the third year. The gathered complain that there is no progress regarding the return of prisoners of war, and after such a long time they continue to stay in Baku.
It should be recalled that servicemen from the Shirak region were taken prisoner at the combat positions of Khtsaberd in the Hadrut region of Nagorno-Karabakh on December 13, 2020. Of the 62 two prisoners of war, 26 continue to be held captive to this day. Azerbaijan refuses to return them against the backdrop of the inaction of the civilized international community. We also add that the exact number of prisoners of war and civilians held in Baku in violation of the tripartite statement of November 9, 2020 on the exchange of prisoners of war and prisoners of war on the principle of "all for all" is still not known. Moreover, Armenian prisoners are tortured and ill-treated in captivity, many were tortured to death.
