Armenian authorities` primary responsibility return of prisoners, not  Azerbaijani president`s international PR

ArmInfo.The Armenian authorities' primary responsibility is the return of prisoners, not the international PR of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Political  scientist Suren Surenyants wrote this on his Facebook page,  commenting on the results of Andranik Simonyan, Director of the  National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia,'s visit to  Baku.

As the political scientist noted, the delegation led by the Director  of the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia  participated in the 3rd International Security Forum, held in Baku  from September 19-21. "For several days, I didn't want to touch on  this topic under the pretext of not causing harm: I hoped the visit  would at least facilitate the release of some of our prisoners of  war.  However, judging by the schedule, the visit has apparently  ended, and there is no positive news.

Aliyev received further dividends in the form of a positive  international image, while Armenia was left with nothing. This isn't  diplomacy, but dangerous defeatism," Sureniants wrote.

He added that the Armenian official's visit to Baku can only be  considered justified if he returns to Yerevan with Armenian prisoners  of war.

"Otherwise, such visits don't protect Armenia's state interests; on  the contrary, they strengthen Azerbaijan's position. The primary  responsibility of the Armenian authorities is the return of the  prisoners, not the international PR of Aliyev," the political  scientist emphasized.
