Armenian Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan briefed his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the barbaric treatment of prisoners in Azerbaijan.

According to the minister, the issue of searching for missing servicemen, exchanging prisoners and bodies of the dead is very sensitive and requires an early resolution.

"This is especially true in the light of the incoming information about the literal barbaric treatment of the military, and not only. The issue of preserving Armenian religious and cultural sites is among such issues," Ayvazyan said.
