At the meeting the heads of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Parliament of the Republic of Artsakh, in particular, spoke about the measures taken to return the Armenian prisoners of war and hostages back home.

Both sides condemned the Armenian religious, historical and cultural genocide adopted by Azerbaijan. In this regard, the calls of the Foreign Ministry to international organizations have been highlighted.

At the meeting, referring to the internal political developments in Armenia, the NA President Artur Tovmasyan, noted:
