I would like to remind you that one of the provisions of the trilateral statement also refers to the return of prisoners, hostages, and other detained persons, and in many cases, when, for example, our colleagues from the Russian Federation spoke about the trilateral statement, it is painful for me to see that the issue of the return of prisoners, hostages, and other detained persons is essentially bypassed by them, because even if the trilateral statement is the basis, and we want to value and emphasize the trilateral statement, we should go and start reading from the first provision and see who was supposed to do what work, which he did not implement. This is an important highlight. Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this during a press conference held at the Karen Demirchyan Sports Concert Complex.
"Of course, the issue of prisoners, hostages and other detained persons is of great concern to us, and we carry out daily work in that direction. I understand that work is invisible, and that is the nature of that work.
When the return of our 32 captive brothers took place in December last year, many more questions were asked in the preceding period, and I kept saying that work is being done, and that work is daily.
Of course, all that took a long time, and people sometimes despair, sometimes they also get the impression that nothing is really happening, but the reality is not like that," said Pashinyan.
