Moscow urges Baku and Yerevan to return the detainees according to the "all for all" principle, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a weekly briefing.

"I would like to stress that Russia is not arranging any geopolitical and other games around humanitarian problems of this nature. Moscow consistently calls on Baku and Yerevan to close this issue once and for all - to return the detainees according to the "all for all" formula," Zakharova said.

Zakharova said that a total of 147 detainees have been returned with Russia's direct assistance since the end of the armed confrontation in the fall of 2020: 128 to the Armenian side, 19 to the Azerbaijani side.
