ArmInfo. All prisoners and hostages should be released, and the EU's position on this issue is quite clear. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, who is on an official visit to Yerevan, said this at a joint press conference with Acting Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan on April 26.
So, answering the question about Azerbaijan's deliberate delay in the issue of returning prisoners of war, he said in particular: "The European Union has presented a fairly clear position on this issue - all hostages, all prisoners should be returned if we expect any action to strengthen confidence. And I can only repeat this position, " the minister concluded.
It should be noted that Azerbaijan has been illegally holding more than 200 Armenian prisoners and prisoners of war for more than 5 months, thereby violating the implementation of the 8th paragraph of the trilateral statement of November 9, 2020.
