Return of 32 Armenian POWs from Azerbaijani must take place in  nearest time- MP

ArmInfo. The return of 32 Armenian prisoners of war from Azerbaijani captivity must take place  in the nearest time. Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Relations Sargis Khandanyan told reporters today.

He noted it's a matter of 'hours or days.' The MP denied the  possibility of any other party participating in negotiations between  Yerevan and Baku, which resulted in the joint statement. He noted  that the negotiations took place between the offices of the Prime  Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the Administration of the  President of Azerbaijan.

Khandanyan emphasized that we are talking about a humanitarian issue.

"This is a humanitarian issue, we are talking about the return of  prisoners, which we have talked about for a long time and many  times," the parliamentarian noted, calling on journalists not to  disclose the names of returning prisoners of war until they cross the  border of Armenia.

However, the list of 32 Armenians liberated by Azerbaijan has already  been published in Baku. "Guided by the principles of humanism and as  a gesture of goodwill, the Republic of Azerbaijan releases 32  Armenian servicemen. In turn, the Republic of Armenia, guided by the  principles of humanism and as a gesture of goodwill, releases 2  Azerbaijani servicemen," stated in a joint statement by the offices  of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the  Administration of the President of Azerbaijan.
