The matter of having Armenian prisoners in Azerbaijan returned to Armenia is so sensitive that raising it can be harmful, Armenian Justice Minister Srbuhi Galyan told reporters on Tuesday.

The minister assured, however, that the relevant bodies are working institutionally every day to have these prisoners returned.

“Unfortunately, by asking questions on this topic in parliament, they [i.e. the Armenian opposition] are trying to create the impression that they are interested in this topic, and we are not—but such a thing cannot happen,” added the Armenian minister of justice.
