Armenia hopes for EU support in release of Armenian prisoners 

ArmInfo.Armenia counts on the active support of the European Union in the issue of the release  of Armenian prisoners of war held in Azerbaijan. This was stated by Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia Paruyr Hovhannisyan on February 25 during the fourth meeting of the Armenia-EU Parliamentary Interaction Committee.

"Our prisoners continue to be held in Azerbaijan. What is happening  there is shameful for Azerbaijan from any point of view, both legal  and judicial. We are grateful to all our international partners for  supporting peacebuilding efforts. We are also grateful to our  partners from the EU, but its mediation efforts are not yielding  results today. We expect that the new EU High Representative for  Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas will take a more  active part in this process," the official emphasized.

He noted that Kallas' upcoming visit to Armenia and Azerbaijan in the  near future and her participation in this process could contribute to  the establishment of peace in the region.

The Deputy Minister also reported that Armenia presented Azerbaijan  with the latest version of the peace treaty, in which only two points  remained uncoordinated. Currently, the process of delimitation of  borders between the two states is also underway, which continues to  be one of the most sensitive issues.  Hovhannisyan expressed hope for  positive dynamics in this matter. The bellicose statements and  threats coming from Baku do not correspond to the peace agenda.
