The exchange of prisoners would continue - Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia (UPDATED)
The commander of the peacekeepers in Karabakh, Rustam Muradov, spoke about the exchange of prisoners between Baku and Yerevan.
"Today ... another exchange of prisoners has been carried out. As a result of the work carried out by the Russian peacekeepers under my personal control, a Russian aircraft delivered to Baku two Azerbaijanis in captivity and four prisoners returned," Muradov said.
Azerbaijan handed over four prisoners to Armenia through Russia and the Red Cross. Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Avinyan announced this in the evening of December 28.
"The prisoners are under the supervision of doctors and will receive the necessary medical and moral and psychological assistance," Sputnik Armenia quotes Avinyan. According to that source, the prisoner exchange process will continue. He did not say whether the Armenian side had given anyone over to Azerbaijan.
The first exchange of prisoners took place on December 14 and 15, when Azerbaijan gave 44 prisoners, and Armenia 12 people. The exchange on the principle of "all for all" was stipulated in the trilateral statement of the presidents of Azerbaijan, Russia and the prime minister of Armenia on November 10.
The Azerbaijani side has not yet announced the transfer of prisoners to Armenia.
