Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Russia to Armenia Sergey Kopirkin today told reporters that the return of Armenian prisoners of war is a major issue that President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu are personally dealing with.

“I wouldn’t be exaggerating, if I said that this is truly one of the major issues that the president, foreign minister and defense minister are personally dealing with. Of course, the solution might not be as quick as we would like it to be, but believe me when I say that maximum efforts are being made. I’m certain that the issue will be solved,” the Ambassador said.
