Preparations  underway for RA NA Speaker`s official visit to Moscow

ArmInfo.  The Armenian authorities have always addressed the issues of Armenian PoWs in Baku and will continue to do so, as announced by  the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, Alen Simonyan, to reporters on January 19, while commenting on Azerbaijan's statements  that they will not release the former military-political leadership  of Artsakh under any circumstances.

According to the Speaker, an attempt will be made to find solutions  for their release through negotiations.  "The release of our  compatriots is a key priority in ongoing discussions with  Azerbaijan," Alen Simonyan emphasized. In response to the  opposition's accusations on this matter, Simonyan pointed out that  they have remained within the logic of previous developments.  Military actions have taught them nothing.  Additionally, the  statements of Armenian opposition representatives echo those made by  some Russian bloggers.

The Speaker intends to raise all these issues during his upcoming  official visit to Moscow, which is already being prepared. There is  no specific date yet for the return visit, but an invitation has been  extended from Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko.

During this visit, if there is an opportunity, he will raise issues  related to the activities of certain Russian media representatives,  including Vladimir Solovyov and political analyst Alexander Dugin.  Simonyan emphasized that  responses to their statements  will be  provided in due course, not immediately.
