ArmInfo.The relatives of the Armenian servicemen in Azerbaijani captivity are demanding that their children be returned. They gathered in Yerevan's Republic Square with posters calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin to take active measures to ensure the handover of their children to Armenia.
The participants marched to the Russian Embassy to present their demands, but the police blocked their way.
One of the participants said that Azerbaijan has not honored its commitments under Point 8 of the trilateral statement.
"One of the signatories in the Russian president himself, and we demand that Vladimir Putin be consistent and use the levers of influence to facilitate our children's return," he said. Before the Russian president arrived, the servicemen's relatives addressed a letter to the Russian presidential administration requesting a meeting with the Russian leader.
Azerbaijan's authorities have not so far provided accurate information on the number of the Armenian servicemen in Azerbaijani captivity.
