ArmInfo. The Armenian Parliament has failed to take any action to secure the release of Armenian prisoners of war being held in Baku prisons, as noted in the Armenian civil initiative Hayakve's (Armenian Referendum) statement. The document notes that it was necessary to carry out active work in parliamentary diplomacy. "But nothing has been done, nothing: The National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia has friendship groups with 70 countries. How many of them have raised the issue of Armenian prisoners with the parliaments of partner countries?" the statement says.
It is noted that, in fact, both local and foreign experts have repeatedly addressed this issue, particularly in recent days. "Lawyer Jared Genser suggests that Nikol Pashinyan and Ararat Mirzoyan could have requested the International Committee of the Red Cross and the OSCE to send observers to the trial. Switzerland could have been asked to set up an Armenian Interests Section in its embassy in Baku and work towards freeing the Armenian hostages. However, nothing is being done," the statement said.
