"Azerbaijan, both as a humanitarian gesture and consistent with its obligations under international humanitarian law since the 2020 war, has released and repatriated more than 200 Armenians in its custody who were entitled to prisoner-of-war status or considered detainees" said Aykhan Hajizada, MFA Spokesperson, on the baseless statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia on trials of Armenian detainees and peoples accused of war crimes in Azerbaijan, APA reports.

"However, following Azerbaijan’s return of prisoners-of-war, some of them passed through imprisonment and interrogation carried out by Armenian authorities. We would also like to remind the Armenian MFA that Azerbaijan has also made a huge gesture by allowing more than 10,000 illegal Armenian armed forces to lay down arms and leave the territories of Azerbaijan following the 2023 anti-terror measures conducted by Azerbaijan," he said.
