Armenian Ambassador to Russia Gurgen Arsenyan told journalists during the ceremony of handing over credentials that the release of Armenian prisoners in Azerbaijan will greatly help the reconciliation of Yerevan and Baku.
"This step will greatly help reconciliation," he noted, adding that the remaining questions regarding the release of detained persons should be asked to the Azerbaijani side. Arsenyan added that if Yerevan and Baku sign a peace treaty and announce to the world that the two states and nations will live in peace and cooperation, they should start with such steps.
He also refused to comment on Ruben Vardanyan's situation in Azerbaijan, noting no difference between Armenian and Yerevan citizens.
