Prosecutors General of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia meet on Jan. 12

Armenia’s Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan emphasized the need for a speedy implementation of the 8th point of the November 9 agreement, which calls for the return of Armenian POWs and other persons kept in Azerbaijan to Armenia.

Davtyan told his Russian and Azerbaijani counterparts on Tuesday that the return of POWs and civilian captives will become an important guarantee for the implementation of the other provisions of the November 9 agreement and will strengthen peace in the region.

In this context, Davtyan also raised the issue of preventing the spread of international terrorism in the region and taking joint actions against it.

Russia’s Prosecutor General had convened the meeting in an effort to establish further contacts in the field of international law, to discuss necessary conditions for that, as well as discuss a number of pressing issues.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
