Armenian foreign minister Ararat Mirzoyan assures that they are working towards the release of Armenians being held captive in Azerbaijan, but there is simply no result yet.

Mirzoyan added that it is not fair to accuse the Armenian authorities of inaction in this matter.

“Unfortunately, there is no result. But for this issue, there is a possibility that after the peace agreement [with Azerbaijan] is agreed upon, after other confidence-building measures, in the event of a successful process of border delimitation when a climate of mutual tolerance is formed in the region, there may be a more realistic chance also regarding the release of [Armenian] detainees, as well as regarding [Armenian] cultural heritage,” the Armenian FM added.
