None of the Armenian servicemen, who returned from Azerbaijani captivity on Wednesday, has been taken to civilian hospitals, Health Minister Anahit Avanesyan said.

“They underwent a preliminary medical examination. None of them has been transferred to a civilian hospital,” she told reporters on Thursday.

"All necessary examinations have been conducted at Muratsan Hospital and needs have been assessed. There is no need for additional examinations currently," the minister added.

Azerbaijan released 32 Armenian soldiers in exchange for Armenia's release of two Azerbaijani servicemen in line with an agreement announced last week that also said the two countries would work towards a peace treaty.
