The RA Minister of Foreign Affairs Ara Aivazian touched upon the issue of return of prisoners in a briefing with journalists. He noted that on January 11, the Prime Minister addressed the issue of prisoners in both trilateral and bilateral formats, and it is a priority for us.
"We have to understand that this problem is not easily solved. We have an interdepartmental working group and we work in all directions, on a daily basis. The Foreign Ministry also uses every opportunity to bring this issue to the attention of everyone. There is an understanding that peace and development must be established in the region, but for that to happen, an atmosphere of trust must be established.
"If Azerbaijan fails to fulfill its obligation on the humanitarian issue, then we can hardly imagineall the other issues can be implemented", Aivazian said, urging to trust their efforts. The Minister expressed hope that the issue will be resolved positively.
