Russia wants to exert efforts to put end to the issue of return of Armenian captives
The militaries of the Russian Federation, Armenia and Azerbaijan are currently checking the lists of names to exchange the prisoners of war, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov stated.
“Russia wants to exert efforts to put an end to the issue of return of Armenian captives,” Lavrov said at a press conference on Monday.
He reminded that the issue is part of the statement signed on November 9.
The Russian minister said he spoke with Armenian counterpart to clarify the final lists but it appeared that the number of captives is more than it was said before. Lavrov said currently the lists are being checked to understand where these people may be.
