The report on the implementation of the RA government's plan for 2022 refers to the issue of the return of prisoners.
According to the report, agreements on several humanitarian issues in Armenia-Azerbaijan relations remain unaddressed. "Contrary to point 8 of the tripartite statement of November 9, 2020, Azerbaijan continues to keep 33 captured Armenian citizens in prison."
We learn from the report that during 2022, it was possible to ensure the return of 31 captured Armenian citizens. "The issue of missing persons also remains important in the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. On the Armenian side, the location of 975 citizens is considered unknown, 777 of them as a result of the first Karabakh war, 196 as a result of the 44-day war, and 2 as a result of the September aggression.
In 2022, Armenia returned to Azerbaijan 35 bones of allegedly missing Azerbaijanis and three maps of the possible locations of the bodies.
