U.S. “hopes” all Armenian PoWs will return home soon

The United States hopes that all the remaining Armenian prisoners of war will return home soon, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a tweet on Friday, September 9.

"We welcome reports of Armenian detainees returned home, a positive development for Armenia and Azerbaijan peace process," Price said.

"We hope all remaining detainees return home soon and Azerbaijan and Armenia continue taking steps to build trust and resolve outstanding differences."

Azerbaijan freed and repatriated five more Armenian prisoners of war who were captured during the Second Karabakh war in the fall of 2020.
