International pressure increases optimism – Armenia’s acting PM on return of Armenian POWs
Azerbaijan fails to implement the assumed commitments and does not return the Armenian captives, Armenia’s acting PM Nikol Pashinyan said at a cabinet sitting today.
“We may record that this fact becomes an issue of the international agenda, and I want to stress that yesterday the EU disseminated a very important statement which very concretely and targeted records that Azerbaijan should return all the captured persons irrespective of concrete circumstance of their being captured,” he said.
Pashinyan said the statement cites the processes ongoing in ECHR which adds another legal component to the political statement, which he said is very important.
“I want to stress that the recent international activeness agreed with the issues of captives is very important and increases the optimism that we will have concrete results in this issue. We need to be very consolidated, tolerant and consistent. This issue must definitely get positive resolution,” Pashinyan said.
