ArmInfo. The international community's pressure on Azerbaijan on the issue of the return of Armenian prisoners is increasing. Armenian Foreign Minister Ara Aivazian stated this, answering the questions of the lawmakers in the National Assembly of the RA on March 3. In this regard, he recalled that yesterday the Italian parliament adopted a resolution in which it called on the leadership of Azerbaijan to resolve this humanitarian issue as soon as possible.
Minister Aivazian noted that numerous channels are used to return the prisoners to their homes. He stressed that, proceeding from the fact that Russia has great influence in the region, this issue is raised personally by the President of the Russian Federation, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense of the Russian Federation.
In addition, he noted that the topic of prisoners of war is key in the course of his telephone conversations with the countries - co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group at the level of ambassadors and the Foreign Ministry. "In various directions, work is underway with international organizations, and for Azerbaijan this issue is becoming more and more problematic," he concluded.
