Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergei Kopyrkin said that the preparatory work of the Russian peacekeeping forces has played an important role in the issue of the recent return of 15 Armenian troops from Azerbaijan to Yerevan. According to him, without the peacekeepers, the exchange would hardly have taken place.
Recall that the liberation of the Armenians took place on 12 June. In return, the Armenian authorities handed over 97,000 mines in the Aghdam area to Azerbaijan. Representatives of Georgia were present at the exchange.
Recall that more than 100 Armenian soldiers are in Azerbaijani captivity. They ended up there as a result of the defeat of Armenia in the Second War of the Karabakh. The Baku official claims that these people are terrorists and should therefore be tried, not exchanged.
