Two Armenian POWs return from Azerbaijan

Two Armenian prisoners of war (POW) have returned to Yerevan from Azerbaijan, reports the official Russian peacekeeping mission in Karabakh. The head of the mission, Lieutenant General Rustam Muradov, traveled to Azerbaijan and returned with the POWs himself.

The Russian aircraft transporting the POWs landed in Armenia's Erebuni airport.

Sputnik Armenia reports that the names of the captives are Arthur Nalbandyan and Aramayis Torozyan.
