During the trilateral meeting, the Armenian side raised the issue of speedy exchange of prisoners of war. Although it was not possible to achieve a concrete result in this regard today, the issue remains the most important issue on the Armenian side’s agenda. The Russian side supports Armenia’s position on this issue.  Ruben Rubinyan, Chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, deputy of “My Step” faction announced.

“A statement was signed in Moscow today, according to which a trilateral working group chaired by the Deputy Prime Ministers of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan is being set up to unblock all economic and transport ties in the region.

The unblocking is in Armenia’s interests, because if it is implemented, our railway connection with Iran and Russia will be restored, which can create new economic opportunities for us.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that in this statement the transport connection between Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan is not separated in any way. In other words, with this statement, the agenda of unblocking all regional communications is clearly fixed as a whole, in one context. This is a possible diplomatic success.

I hope this will put an end to the manipulations about Syunik or Meghri in our political field.
