On December 8, at the initiative of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, a tripartite meeting was held in Moscow with the participation of the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Armenia Anna Vardapetyan, the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov and the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Azerbaijan Kamran Aliyev.

 

Anna Vardapetyan thanked the Russian colleague for his efforts in initiating the meeting in such a format and expressed hope that this meeting will give opportunity to record concrete outcomes and will serve to the full implementation of the humanitarian requirements of paragraph 8 of the tripartite declaration, signed by the leaders of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan on November 9, 2020.

 

Anna Vardapetyan underlined that the fulfillment of the humanitarian requirements stipulated by the tripartite declaration is a priority for Armenia, while they have not been fully implemented by Azerbaijan to this day. In this context, Vardapetyan emphasized that the Republic of Armenia has fully implemented the requirements of Paragraph 8, which stipulate the principle of "All-for-all". "Two years after the declaration was signed, Armenian prisoners of war are still being captured in the Republic of Azerbaijan. This behavior of Azerbaijan does not contribute to the realization of the goals of the tripartite declaration," Anna Vardapetyan stated.

 

During the meeting, Vardapetyan, the Prosecutor General of Armenia also referred to the agreements reached during the previous meetings held in this format with the participation of the Prosecutor Generals of the three countries, mentioning that Armenia has fulfilled all the agreements.

 

Anna Vardapetyan once again thanked the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation and accentuated that Armenia looks forward for concrete outcomes in regard with the implementation of Paragraph 8 of the tripartite declaration.
