ArmInfo. Today, on June 24, near the government, a sit-in strike of relatives of Armenian servicemen, who have been in Azerbaijani captivity for 8 months, is taking place since the morning. Relatives of the prisoners of war settled down on the steps at the entrance of the government building with placards asking to support the process of returning the Armenian hostages and prisoners of war of the Artsakh war.
It should be noted that more than two hundred Armenian prisoners of war and civilians continue to be illegally held in Azerbaijani captivity only according to confirmed data. Unofficially, there are many more. According to point 8 of the trilateral statement of the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia on November 9, 2020, all prisoners of war and hostages were to be released immediately and without preconditions according to the formula "all for all." Armenia handed over all Azerbaijani prisoners of war, and Azerbaijan, against the background of the inaction of the international community, continues to keep Armenian prisoners of war, speculating on these issues and receiving political dividends.
