Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Minister of State Artak Beglaryan has reflected on the issue of captives.

“Anyone can explain [to] me why some international leaders praise Azerbaijan for releasing Armenian captives, if it is an intl law duty & AZ still keeps many of them as hostages?” Beglaryan wrote on Twitter.

“Guys, if you praise ‘good will’ of a criminal instead of punishing, you encourage deviant behavior!” he added.
