Armenia returned, without preconditions, the Azerbaijani servicemen who trespassed the border and were captured on Dec. 18. This is what Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan declared during today’s online press conference, touching upon the transfer of the captured Azerbaijani servicemen to the Azerbaijani side through the mediation of the Russian Federation on Dec. 20.

“We returned them without preconditions and without anything in return because we don’t want to create the impression that we are busy bargaining people. Based on our stance, we have shown that we are fully committed to international norms,” Pashinyan said.

“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
