Minister of Justice Karen Andreasyan did not comment on the arrest of several Armenian captives who were returned from Azerbaijan.

At the press briefing after Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting of the Armenian government, reporters tried to find out from him what he thought in that regard, to which the minister answered: "There are nuances in your questions that it is better that you ask the question to the Prime Minister's staff."

At the same time, he stressed that the issue of Armenian captives in Azerbaijan is very important, and the PM Nikol Pashinyan-led government is working to resolve it.

"This is a painful issue that we do not forget about," Andreasyan added.

He did not respond also to the question about the arrest of the some of the aforesaid Armenian captives, saying that this can be considered as interference in the work of law enforcement agencies.
